You are livin in the past the new cranes that came out now require a .090 shim not the .030 shim that they used to be. Supposedly Crane has some new metal they are using and they seem to like more seat pressure.

i'd check cam timing, could be off even though you did it dot to dot. Fireball installed his trex on a different ICL (107 or 109 dont remember off hand). have all other mechanical issues been ruled out yet?

He adjust timing up and down and that was the best he could get. He adjusted the a/f up and down and this was the out come. He is telling me there is obviously a problem he tuned a car that had less done on the g5x cam that made 410/389 so what is wrong
list the things that havent been the problem so far

oh, oops.
but fwiw, seat pressure wasnt the concern, it was coil bind that kept us from shimming any higher, these new springs would have to be way different

i am not sure what run 3 is the torque curve is not on the graph i looked at it when I went up there and it looked the same it just peeked at 358 at the same time the horsepower peaked I will try and get another graph when i go and pick up the car.

Other then the o2 sensor being bad I think that I just have to get a new lid and a new intake. This is the only thing that I can think of that would be robbing be of some power.

NO lid? No LS6 intake? thats easily 10rwhp between the two. That gets you a little closer I think.

It is not listed in your sig, but you have headers right? I am sure the intake will help that cam breathe. MC tuned my car pretty quick and came out with awsome curves on the dyno graph, Nick knows his stuff.
