Sad Sad Day! I bought my engine being told that it had heads and cam. paid $2200 for it. Well i got it dyno tuned today and it turns out not to be the case. It needed a tune anyways since it was running so rough. Its a 2001 block w/ 98 heads. Its got ported mass air sensor, intake routed behind headlight (remember its a 68),160* Thermostat , Stainless Works Long Tubes, 3" true duals w/ x pipe & bullet mufflers, and now a tune.

wow then i wouldnt necessarily be happy with the tune, but thats me...it lost tq from say 3500 to 5000rpms...now normally your not gonna see a ton of that powerband at the track but gaining 5hp at the top end isnt much...personally id keep the stock tune if thats the best they can do.
was that on a chassis or engine dyno? i see the calculation at the bottom and im just wondering...to be honest making 350ftlbs through an m6 isnt quit stock #'s...and i really dont think some exhaust work alone would get those #'s either so it may have a mild cam or something in it but not much else seemingly especailly considering the powerband.

Chassis dyno. the part at the bottom is just a calculation. its supposed to have a 216 comp cam and heads ported by a mustang turbo guy. but the #s arent that great. iv seen these #s reached by exhaust only guys.
