You have 20 RWHP (under the curve) in tuning easily.
did you use ATAP during your pulls? Your AF is VERY lean. You want to try and hit around 12.4:1 at torque peak and ramp up to around 12.8-13.0:1 at RWHP peak. I bet you'll pick up a ton with good tuning.
BTW My 12 bolt (4.11) and HD driveshaft cost me ~20RWHP on the dyno vs a 10 bolt with stock alum DS.

I fattend it up some yesterday, and it seemed (by feel) to bump some more torque out of it. The IDC is about 75% from 3500+ the fuel PSI is hovering about 60 under WOT...
If this cam is the wrong one, i dont know what to say... When you guys with the X2 or X3 ordered it, did you do anything special to get it??

Well i called LG today... Come to find out the G5 was its own line and seperate from the X2... The X2 had to be special ordered about a year ago when i bought it. They claim my hp#s are right where they should be for a cam only car with that G5 cam in it.
Now the question arrises, whats up with the heads?? supposedly on stock displacment the 5.3L heads only equal about 10.2:1??? not 10.8:1?? These heads are acting like stockers and not doing a damn thing then is my conclusion, other than having a WAY smaller cam than what i thought i had.
Either way looks like im gonna need some new parts to make #s like i should be seeing.

HA! no wonder this pickle made crap for diff over my TR224 last season!
Them damn heads are still an enigma though... do i need more cam to see results out of the heads or should i loose the headsand go with a diff brand??

Chris is right on the money. More tuning along with a cutout should help alot. As far as the heads go it's hard to tell but my PP 5.3's really woke my car up after it was tuned.
