Yeah I see them cross at 5250. There are two runs on that sheet so make sure you are looking at the right TQ line and right HP line that go together, they both cross at 5250.

To the OP as everyone else has said I would be willing to bet assuming the install was done correctly that its a tuning issue. You haven't really said who tuned it yet and from the sounds of it you might need to do some research about tuning and how the PCM works so you know some of the basic acronyms like KR. It will help everybody out when trying to resolve issues. Good Luck.

Well if a shop did it and tuned the car then I would hope they did it right but you never know about some shops. There is a difference between the car running "ok" and a car running "correctly". The crossing at 5250 thing is talking about your dyno sheet. The way a dyno works is it actually measures the cars torque. The HP is merely a calculation the dyno software does to give you a HP number. Because of this the two lines (HP and TQ) will always cross at 5250 rpm on the dyno graph. One of the other posters didn't think your lines crossed at 5250 but they actually do.

The dyno runs do show solid gain across the power band, thats good!

I would be curious as well, or maybe it just runs faster?

Just out of curiosity - where did you end up with timing?

I'm curious too about the timing, as I'm making less power than expected and perhaps I'm running too much timing, although I'm not getting any KR...
