Default My TSP 396 Stroker missing HP-Update

Well after months of adjusting the valves and tweeking the motor I shoot off a 11.65 run (NA) at 114 MPH at the track. During this run I was still having issues with the tune. There was 4 degrees of KR, I hit the rev limiter on the 2-3 shift, I blew a p0742 code and spun slightly on the line. Not to mention the car scaled in at 4124 LBS. So, I really think the 390 Hp on the dyno was incorrect. Now if I can get the tune down and put the car on a diet I think I may be shooting off some very low 11's. Thanks to all of those that helped out with suggestions. Also if there is anyone willing to help with the tuning I would be happy to email the .bin file.

Thanks guys,,,,

how does your car weigh 4124 pounds?

Do you have 400 pounds of stereo gear in it?

Thanks Guys. I was very happy that the car got up and went like that. As soon as I get the trans and tuning issues worked out I think it will be even better. If not, here comes the Trex....

I have a 396 with a 244 250 cam with trevor johnson ls6 ported heads and mine made 507rwhp and 460rwtq with 11:1 compression.

It ran 102 mph in the 1/8 with stock gears and 475rwhp.

Now it has 3.90s and 30 more hp. Hoping for 104mph on motor.
