Question Happy with n/a #'s but spray

I have a 2001 z-28 a4. The mods are a Torquer V.2 cam 232/234 .595/.598 114lsa, Dynotune wet kit, 38lbs injectors, Walbro 255 intank pump, Fuddle 3600rpm stall, 3.73's, Flowtech LT's, Loudmouth, Underdrive pulley, Msd window switch, K&N filter, and HP Tuners by me.

n/a the car made 389.21hp/359.58tq sae
spray was 472.93hp/439.40tq sae

The runs were made with the converter locked, and the spray was turned on at 4000rpm I think. I was using the 57/32 jets which are rated for 150hp at the crank but didn't even get 100hp.

Why would my spray numbers be so low? Torque???

At the track I ran 12.1@112 n/a, and a 11.8@117 n2o but I couldnt 60ft better than a 1.71 this time out so?

Nitrous may be too much for the converter? Blowing through it?

jet it down for a 100 shot and see what it does. Like mike said, it might be blowing through the converter.

"Fuddle 3600rpm stall"-That's your problem! I had the same stall and my numbers were way off as well. I changed out the piece of **** fuddle and gained 40 rwhp on the first pull with the new convertor. Fuddle =

I guess that does make sinse though because before gears, underdrive, cam. I ran 11.7x@118 on the juice, and afters those things for it to trap about the same it would have to be blow through wouldn't it? I had wondered about blow through but wasnt sure if could happen with the stall locked. I guess next time at the dyno/track i'll try the smaller jets and see what happens.
