Auto or 6 spd?

nevermind. I see in your sig. Im sure many will pipe in and say they look low, but in my experience, I have seen smaller cubes make more power and some the size of yours make similar numbers if not a little less.

if numbers concern you, find another dyno and make a couple of pulls to see what that dyno reads.

Not too shabby for a Ford 9 in rear.

Not really concerned, this is a different cam grind from prior. I know my heads are probably a bit too small...doesn't help and the cam is more for my Nitrous setup. Old numbers were 484/440 with a GT1-1 LPE cam and ported FAST intake also a Moser 12 bolt. Just curious what the masses would say.

9" kills power and so do maf's... Do a sd tune, 90mm lid and idk if you have a cutout? And you will pick up some power..

Thanks, I appreciate it......not worried, just thought it should be a little higher that's all. I'm sure the 9" didn't help the cause.

It definitely gets your attention when the throttle is cracked open. Thanks

They seem good to me, but then again there's a local here that says his car makes 505/525 on stock cubes with a 224 cam. He's using numbers he was told when he bought the car.

Looks strong to me.... Just use the dyno as a tuning tool... never take the numbers to heart unless they are WAY down...

This statement is totally incorrect. You do not gain power from a SD tune over a MAF tune. The only time you gain power is when the MAF is a restriction.

505/525 on stock cubes from a 346 with a 224 cam? I'd like to see that. What power adder is on that?

I was implying the restriction. Most cars with a fast 90/90 with a 85mm maf are restricted by the maf. I know very well that there is no hp if the maf being a restriction. But in this case it is!!! Quite a large one!!! So my statement wasn't exactly "incorrect"

No it's all motor making that power, but it's an LS6 so that makes sense. /sarcasm
