is it throwing any codes?have you checked the plugs and wires,and or checked for leaks around the intake and TB?i would check for any mechanical issues before taking it back to the tuner(bent pushrods?).for the street i would shoot for around 12.8 to 1 AFR..but maybe that combo works a little leaner?i'm not familar with the TFS heads and what they like.i would think the stock fuel pump would be ok,do you know the duty cycle of the injectors?

No codes. I am going to swap the ac delco iridium plugs for some NGK tr55. How can I check for leaks around intake and TB? The injectors are green top 42#.

My car was tuned on the lean side of normal from that shop too. Never had any issues with it though.

With a 230/224 cam, stock heads, fast intake, longtubes, etc my car only made 350rwhp unlocked on the same dyno.

Ok so since I installed the H/C I have put on a few more goodies. I now have 1 7/8" kooks along with their true duals, monster stage 2, tick master, FAST 102, a new fuel pump and I plan on going with a SD tune. I originally put down 426/414. Any guestiamtes as to what I will be putting down now? I will post a dyno graph after its tuned.
