Wanting some suggestions for improvement My mods are listed in sig. LS6 cam, stock block, well... check the sig. Dyno tuning done by Rick @ Synergy. Looking for some advice on the dips in the graph and the drop off, also maybe some suggestions on different cam or anything else you may think. I have an Eboost2 but have it at 5.5 to 6 psi right now. Thanks.

It's been a while since we talked, and i wasn't totally happy with some of the stuff with them. The tune seems alright but for my mods and setup I'm not so sure. To clarify a bit, i wasn't so happy with some of the service and had some items that were taken off of my car and not returned, also some items that were replaced that weren't necessary. Anyways, I want to up the setup to 8psi and maybe do boost mapping with the eboost2, but wanted to see if there were any suggestions for the dips in the dyno graph and/or any ways to really improve this setup.

Verdad Gallardo Cam wise I am looking at what speed inc has to offer. They have different grinds for different setups. supercharged/turbocharged/stroker. I think Im going to run one of their cams. I think a little more lift/duration wouldnt hurt from what your running.
your graph looks like mine, but i'm at 7-8lbs. rick told me that all the little dips are due to the boost controller, that when the boost hits hard, the wastegate opens up quick which is why there is a dip right after your peak torque. and it would be smoother if i just ran it off the wastegate spring.
also, i had some items that were never returned as well.... my stock injectors, a 9lb wastegate spring.. just little **** like that.

Well, i had a walbro 255 in tank pump that he replaced with another 255 in tank without remembering or checking that i had it already, charged me for the new pump and install, and didn't return the old one. Also I had him do a transmission install and didn't get my stock core back (i supplied the new transmission for him to install).
I am now looking to have someone up my boost to 8psi and also do boost mapping with my eboost 2. Also probably want a new cam, maybe some more under curve power and smoother curve that doesn't drop off. Lastly just looking if there's anything else i should be doing to the car.

You could talk to Nick at Newtech; on my TA we had some fluctuation in power (but not boost) at 4500+ rpm... this was solved by swapping in Patriot Dual Gold springs in my AFR 225 heads and a little re-tune. I have a front-mount T67 running at about 11 psi. I would be surprised if you would need to do boost mapping with a max of 6 psi.
you could have valve float, or it could be a possible fuel problem. Was your fuel pressure consistent? Can you check your injector rate thru the run? (are they maxxed out?) What was your airfuel?
Could be your wastegate spring. Try the simple stuff first.

I'm running the LS6 valves with comp 918s, stock rockers, and the fuel pressure was consistent. Running mototron 60lbers flowmatched. I'm not sure on the exact airfuel though.
RW99, what is the benefit of boost mapping? I was going to up to 8psi and possibly get it done then.

If it is the stock converter, that needs to be changed. Does your boost flutter like the graph? Have you wrapped your exhaust? If not, that needs to be done too. Cam should be fine. People have made over 800rwhp with that cam.
