Default Need Some Help

I dyno'ed my 99 Trans Am a while ago. Here's a list of my mods: SLP Cam 214/222 .559/.556 115LSA, TCI 3000 stall, pacesetter LTs and ORY through flowmaster catback, and lid. the dyno is with the TC unlocked


does this seem low even with the TC unlocked? After the dyno i put in a cut out. I still need a LS6 intake and ported TB, which I plan on getting this fall/winter. I also my switch over to a TD setup instead of the cutout and flowmaster. How much will that add, ~20hp? Also is there something wrong with my TQ curve? I've havn't seen anyone with a similar curve. IDK if it's an error b/c it came out like that on every run.

I've heard torque converters amplify torque, but I really dunno about what the effect is of it being unlocked. Your numbers seem somewhat low to me, but I don't know what conditions the car was under (Temperature). Is the car tuned for the cam yet??? If it isn't, you'll see massive gains with a tune.

it wasnt hot at all, i cant really remember, but i know heat would notbe a factor. yes it's after it was tuned. maybe i just need a bigger cam? also i had just installed a flp level 4 tranny about a week earlier if that makes a difference.
