Only 360rwhp?? is it true ok i have a 00 ss automatic with
Longtubes
4:10 Gears
tv2 cam 232/234 .595/.598
3600 stall
slp lid
also the second gear was slipping at the time but it went all the way till about 5500 then slipped so could that be why i only dynoed at 360?
i dont understand why it was only 360

If your an auto you should'nt be in 2nd. Also i have to agree with above dump the LS1 intake and what type of dyno machine were you using?. If its a mustang dyno you will definitly get lower numbers then the norm with the dynojets and dynapack machines but you also need to address the slipping issue as well.

Also, keep it in 3rd otherwise you can't really compare numbers.

How much power are you expecting?
Sounds like your car needs some help before you start pointing the finger at the tuner. Get your transmission fixed which will obviously give you more power to the wheels, and have your tuner check your stuff again.
Did you purposely take your car to the dyno with a slipping transmission or did you find out it was slipping during the dyno run?

Dyno numbers mean nothing, especially in an auto.

no it wasnt slipping untill the dyno run then the tranny went out and now i have a built tranny but they wanna charge me another 500$ to retune and fix my idle becuase it wont idle anywhere i have to stall it up
They would charge you full price for another tune?! **** that place. Most people around here are $50 or less for a retune unless something very drastic changes. Sounds like the are a bit shady, maybe a bit stupid as well if they are dynoing in 2nd.
FWIW, my buddy made 351rwhp with an SS4000, torquer 2, 1 7/8" headers, LS6 intake, 98mm lid and a tune. The dyno is known to be a low reader...which was proven when he would destroy cars make 70+rwhp more than him. Like lemons said, dyno numbers dno't mean **** on an auto.

Take a loss with your investment in this "business". If you paid them once and they can't even get your idle correct, what makes you think another $500 will make things any better? Run away and don't look back.

i know theyre supposed to be really good in Oklahoma but id dreather have a newby hp tuner give it a go then them lol im going to try one more place if that dont work then i guess ill have to learn myself
Where did you go? Sounds like a crappy shop.
An honestly, if you made that much power at 5500rpm with a dying trans and ls1 intake through a stalled auto you should be fairly pleased.
