Default C1 cam lovers educate me

i just installed it in my car sounds great and can feel the diff however im not too familiar with gains, as far as dyno i gained 25 rear wheel hp i have longtubes and never got o2 simms because i wanted to wait and get edit meaning im still throwing a code i was informed that timing was also decrease with this code being thrown will my hp increase if i simply get o2 simms and will tuning improve on top of that? current rwhp is 334 and 334lbs of tq
car is a 98 m6 with stock intake lt's,ory,and flowmaster and of course a lid

It looks like youre a little low on power with the cam, I'd think at least 350rwhp with LT's and a C1. Hopefully its the codes that are keeping you down. What was your afr on the dyno?

sorry i8cobra im dyno illiterate at this time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> afr i would assume afr means air to fuel ratio it doesn't say..heres my info
absolute barometric pressure: 29.94 in. Hg
vapor pressure : .27 in.Hg
intake air temp : 68.2* F
gear ratio :47.40 rpm/mph
and the correction factor was .97 it was only one pull on a dynojet at some car show
the first dyno was done at mti: 309hp and 325lbs tq 3 weeks ago with the exception of cam gains from cam were 25hp and 9 lbs of tq <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Below your dyno graph should be another little graph showing your air fuel ratio throughout the dyno run. Optimum is around 12.8 If the #'s are lower then youre running rich and could be leaned out to increase hp, this would be done at time of tuning.

Ls1edit will work wonders for you. The long tubes have probably sent you pig rich which will kill your HP numbers. You also need your timing bumped up to 29 at a minimum. Those two changes will make a world of difference. Yes those numbers look low , but the tuning is the reason. I am a big C1 cam fan and Raughammer ran the C1 before he went to the C2. His numbers and mine were almnost identical. As it turns out, our best ETs were also very close. Tuning makes all the difference in the world. Talk to Jayson about the tuning. He will take care of you. Re dyno the car after the tuning and then see what ya get. Good luck!!!

I would wait until the LS intake is on before you get it tuned. Like I8AFORD said. It does make a difference. You will be pleased with the results. Take care.
