Default Not the dyno results I expected

I dynoed again at the Superfest on Saturday. I didn't get the results I was expecting. I'm not really an expert on reading the sheet, so any comments from the experts would be appreciated.

The car runs great IMO, but I suppose I could be losing some power somewhere. Maybe a tune with LS1 Edit, lose the cats, different cam ?? Thanks!

The graph looks good, what about an air/fuel graph?

Well, I've got AutoTap, but I've never done much with it. I'm not sure what parameters to log. I guess I need to find a good log file to use, and take a drive.

Looks good to me. Those number seem to be in the ball park for the combo you have.

???What was the Air temp, humidity, sea level???
It makes alot of differance.

You might try a different cam. Thunder Racing makes some bad *** cams. I like the 224/224 .561 112 SLA <It's one bad *** cam. Check it out.

What were your HP/TQ gains before and after on the same dyno?

I picked up 80 rwhp with TEA Stage 1 heads, hammer cam, max headers.

Sucks not to get the horsepower that you want when you spend a lot of money. I can tell you that you need to get a larger lift on your cam to get the horsepower that you are looking for.
