Well I'm back together, here is a short video prior to going to the dyno.

Made 408 tq and 403 hp on superflow dyno, was hoping for more

car sounds great! The only thing that bugs me about those numbers is typically a cammed ls1 is going to make a higher hp number than torque, and you're the other way around. So what rpm was the peak hp? It should be around 6300 rpm. If it was lower, that would indicate something blocking airflow on intake or exhaust side

I wouldn't chase/worry about dyno numbers and I tell you why.
- Every dyno is different... some very stingy.
- reason #2... It's just a dyno tool to help your tuner.
- Reason #3.... take the car to track and your mph will tell the real story on your car performance.
- Reason #4... automatic/stalled cars ALWAYS read a lower rear wheel power number vs a standard.
Nice car by the way and a great cam choice.

As others have said, all dynos read a little different so don't get too wrapped up on the numbers. Trap speed at the track will be a more true indicator of power. If you are looking for more power a Fast intake/throttle body would probably be worth 15-20HP.
I have a very similar combo that made 435HP/398 ft/lbs(dyno jet). My peak HP occured at about 6500rpm so there is probably more power to be found if you rev yours higher. My combo: Stock bottom end LS1 with AI 226 heads, 228/232 .625/.625 112lsa cam, 1 3/4 LT headers, Fast 92mm intake, NW 92mm throttle body, FTI 3200 stall converter, Strange 12 bolt w/ 3.42 gears

Also to hit that high 1.4 are you brake stalling or hitting it off idle?

What suspension you running? Vikings? You also said that's with a similar cam to the Titan 4 and some AI 243/799 heads? Looks like a hell of a set up.. looking at your pics makes me want to ditch my Eibach and bilsteins bad.. I added a short torque arm and plan on removing my sway bar in hopes of hitting a 1.6-1.7 60ft this year.. hard to say with horrible weight transfer though..
