Got a question for you, and you might think im crazy but what kind of air pressure did you have in your rear tires? Mine dynoed 367 RWHP and 361 RWTQ. Then we got to talking about dyno numbers and my tuner said theres ways to make the numbers look good. He checked my air pressure in my rear tires 15LBS. He aired them up to 32LBS and made another pull with no tuning changes. GAINED 21HP!!!!!!

381 RWHP and 366 RWTQ

dont mean ****!
i have seen more than "2 Ls motors" straight from the factory, be dot to dot and they were retarded by 2 degrees from the factory...
timing chains can most defiantly be marked wrong, even when the factory gets them.
think about it.
why can 2 of the same cars be way faster than the other one.
case in point!
if you feel there is already an issue with the cam set up,
PUT A DEGREE WHEEL ON IT!

Why were they at 15 to begin with? I run at 35 unless at the track, dang you may need to check all your tires. Those new numbers look alot better.

There were 15 cause i just unloaded the car off the trailer from coming from the track. I was playing with air pressure at track and 15lbs was were i left them. Next day i started the cam swap. My tuner said he had seen 11-16 hp gain fro tire pressure but not that much. Oh well im happen with it
