Maybe because of that BIG stall converter and it's an automatic. Take it to the track and let's see how she runs.

Auto and the big stall is going to rob a good amount of power. Your biggest problem is the mail order tune. Correct AFR and timing will do wonders. Invest money in having a good shop/tuner tune your car.

What I am saying is... My car when it was stalled auto it dynoed 318 rwhp/319rtq... Next day I took it to the track and it ran 12.2 @ 110 MPH w/ 1/2 tune. So don't dwell with your dyno numbers too much being yours is stalled automatic.

Before you get that tune tweaked why don't you consider getting a ported FAST 92? Thats good for some power! Ron@VengeanceRacing price matches.

Like others have said, your car is an auto, big stall, and has 3.73 rear gears. That sucker if she hooks will do very well at the track.

If you are dead set on more power then you might consider selling those heads and run a set of TFS 215's and a ported FAST 92. Your numbers still won't be anything to brag about but again your track times will kick *** !!!

Is the dyno graph posted?...I can't see it if it is. That would really help is see if any issues such AFR, spark, etc. are noticeable.

+1 on the big stall hurts...

Sounds like an unlocked converter dyno pull.You can't compare it to anything.If you want a comparable # bring it to a shop that can lock the converter 1-1.

Im also suspecting the mail order tune. Iv'e been there done that, and I gained about 30rwhp from a mail order to a dynotune. You could feel the car picking up power,and running smoother.
