Default Crappy day on the Dyno

So I finally got my car on a dyno today for the first time. The car is running really lean (~15:1) , so the shop didn't run it past 5100 rpm unfortunately.

I'm working on getting the graph scanned.

Car made:
329.32 / 344.42 first run (5100 rpm)
305.90 / 349.56 second run (4600 rpm)

Temp was 79 and humidity was 37-38%

Mod's are 02+ LS6 cam, ported 241's, SLP UD, SLP lid, ported tb, ls6 im, 28.8 lb injectors, lt's w/ ory, on a Frost tune. Car is an M6.

How much power do you guys think is still on the table? Between a better tune and another 1400 rpm.

You should have at least another 50hp in there when you get your problems worked out

Something is not right. Do you have the graph?
Not seeing where he has more hp than torque. Am I missing something?

Dude, go back to bed. Your eyes must have been half open or something. You posted at 3:45 in the morning.

To the OP were you running out of injector or something for it to be running lean or are you still on the stock pump?

I'm not exactly sure why I'm running so lean, i'm still in the process of trying to figure that one out.

5100 rpms on a cam that should rev to 6500 atleast. I wouldn't have even brought those numbers up to anyone.
