The engine has been bought and paid for by someone else now, and he's honestly not nearly as concerned about the lack of power as we are.
He's getting one of those cheap $260 billet 7875s and its all getting dropped in a C10 that has probably 200 HP now.
When I suggested throwing the LS2 cam back in to help diagnose the issue, I didn't exactly get a favorable response.
FYI, all of the spark plugs looked great. All of the plug wires were new when it was dynoed with the LS2 cam.
The heads were hot tanked and cleaned between rebuilds.
At this point I'm not sure what kind of effort he's going to put into diagnosing, especially if the switch is being made to turbo and likely E85 in the very near future.
I'm going to recommend swapping to dual valve springs and flushing out the fuel system on the dyno to see if theres a noticeable difference.

That kind of thing would bother me too. Not having the answer. Maybe you'll get lucky and the buyer will give you a positive update.
Congratulations on your baby!
Get your mind off this thing. Let him worry about it.

I honestly suspect the dyno at this point.
A 408 stroker with 10:1 compression on stock heads and an LS6 intake, with a BTR stage 4 truck cam and long tubes only managed to do 450.
