If you can post a graph we might be able to see if there's a problem. Sorry you're not at the power level you want.

i don't have any way to post the graph, but the dyno showed 12.9 a/f ratio the whole way and there wasn't anything funny in the power curves. i guess it could partly be because of my shitty slp headers and stock tb.

Intersting decision....are you sure there were no loopholes anywhere? Hopefully the graph had accurate air/fuel.

Regarding the hosting of the graph....go to best buy and talk to a tech behind the counter. I'm sure you would be welcome and they would be happy to snap a pic for you, and put it on disk. LMK u ha any q's o teh digicam tech friend!

Doesn't look to bad to me. I was at the dyno today and watched a 02 H/C C5 put dow 394hp and 385tq, some dyno's read lower than others, we call our local dyno the dyno of broken hearts.To many people hooked on these inflated internet dyno's.

yeah man. If it runs good and pulls very hard just take it to the track and see how it does. that is the true test. Some dynos just read lower than others.

With that big cam you need some nice heads to let it breathe especially at higher RPM's. Bigger TB would probably help too.

I don't know about efi live, but if that scans the stock narrow bands, even if it does log that info, it isn't reliable for tuning purposes. If they were having problems with there wideband, you may want to verify your a/f. Just a thought...good luck.
