Disappointed with cam only numbers... TV2 Dynotuned today at EastSide Performance... Car has LT's, OR/Y, Spintech Muffler, SLP lid/bellow, Strange 3.73's, and the cam is a TSP Torquer V2.
Car made 356rwhp and 340rwtq...
Tune is dead on and we have no idea where all the power went... It was kinda humid out, and the car burns a lot of oil so they were thinking it might have a bad piston ring...
Gonna do a compression and leakdown test sometime soon to make sure everything is in check...
What do you guys think?

It sounds like something is definitely wrong there. You said it's burning alot of oil. Well after you do the compression test you might be getting back some bad news. I hope everything turns out ok and it doesn't need to be rebuilt or anything major.

UPDATE:
I Checked the plugs today and did a compression test. Come to find out, the 4 plugs on the drivers side were barely hand tight, and one wasnt even hand tight...
I checked the compression and everything checked out fine. Every cylinder was at about 162, with one at like 158 and a couple at 165.
However, almost all the plugs were covered in oil, I think this is because I forgot to plug the MAF in after I sprayed the Deep Creep into the TB, so it fouled all the plugs.
Anyways, car runs a little better and smoother, but still burns a lot of oil and I think the tranny is slipping...
