Do you see anything wrong with this dyno sheet as far as the curve goes?

The missing data comes for a poor connection on the pickup wire. On your first dyno, the curve looks good until 6000 rpm, then it falls off pretty fast. The second dyno looks much cleaner. The power drops off much more gradually. With your early power and torque peaks, I would expect your cam to be installed at a fairly advanced intake centerline. Do you know what it is?

Its stealthII by MTI, dur@.05 224/220 lsa 116 lift .581 .581

Is is bad that the power drops off after 6000rpm? the tuner said something about maybe its the valve spring???? maybe one is kinda weak?
shift points are around 6000rpm i believe, should they be set higher?
the tuner even put more timing in there to see what happens after 6000rpm, same thing but the peak was 396 hp, so more timing didnt help.
is this something i need to have checked out more or worry about?
heads are MTI stage2E milled .05
thanks again.

I don't know. Dyno run number 4 looks cleaner than 3. Power doesn't drop off as fast. What springs are you running? Any shims in them? The Stealth II uses very fast ramps and needs lots of spring pressure to pull high rpm.

looks like your tuner needs to clean the heads on his printer .

if that isnt it, then i support the 'poor connection' theory
