Default Hey Patrick G and vendors where is my torque?

The car is a 2000 M6. It is stock bottom end, clutch, rear, and injectors.

The mods.
1. TEA stg 2 ls6 heads milled to 61cc
2. ported fast 90.
3. 226/228 114LSA +4
4. SLP intake.
5. Powerbond underdrive pulley.
6. QTP 1 3/4 headers
7. QTP off road y
8. Magnaflow exhaust

The car not only to me has low numbers but i personally feel it is sluggish especially below 3500 rpms. Here is the graph. I am up for any suggestions as to what can be the problem or just someone to tell me that the numbers look great.

To the vendors that i bought these parts from. this is by no means any attack on you. I had nothing but great service and help with my car from everyone. I just need some more opinions.

why did you stop pulling at 6100? That shouldn't peak until about 6300..

and it could be a stingier dyno, they aren't standardized or regulated to read the same numbers

I also can't see your A/F.. and your tune could be a little off..

I am not sure why they stopped pulling at 6100. The horsepower really wasnt what disappointed me it was the torque that did.

As far as the a/f ratio the original graph was 13.0 across the board

Some tuners/sponsors may come in here and tell you to have the tune richened up a bit in the midrange to increase torque and you'll probably see a bit of hp free up as well. These things dont like to see a really lean curve to make their power.

Not the strongest h/c car out there, but no slouch either. You are running a pretty mild cam. What is your compression? Post the a/f ratio to help get some insight.

Tune yet?
Stock fuel cutoff on 2000's is 6200
That's from my A4 tune but it accounts for all gears 1-6 and P/N in the .bin
Could explain sluggishness too I suppose.

how much of a difference would it make to get it retuned with the wideband by the headers as apposed to just shoved in the tailpipe?

Looking at the curve i think either valvetrain or tune up issues. Knock retard,to lean , to rich. The curve shape is aweful.

i would be thrilled with those numbers

Great numbers but they could have been better. Looks like you need more tuning on your fueling. If it was really valvetrain, the curve would be more erratic in the upper rpm range. i doubt the cam is even .600 lift. As long as the springs are upgraded which I'm sure they are he should have no problems. Your combo could definitely use more cam though. 228R or 228/232 on 111-113lsa. These would get rid of the sogginess down low and still kick *** up top. Do some research bro.
