Well, here's the graph of today's dyno runs. I couldn't be happier with the results. I didn't think I would hit 400 RWHP with the stock 99 heads and a 12-bolt, but this "little" cam sure proved me wrong.
The red lines are with the cutout closed, while the blue are with the cutout open.
Obviously, it was quite lean. Looking at the computer screen, where the AF scale was tightly stacked, it appeared the line was hovering around 13. It wasn't until after I got the printout that I realized it was, in fact, nearing 14:1 in spots. I have since added what should be a bit over half-a-point of fuel. I'm not sure how this has affected the numbers, but I doubt it's a significant difference power wise.

Sure. Unfortunately, it's not a very good one (STD correction), but it's better than nothing, I suppose.
That run was done before the 12-bolt and SD tune. I just had the T-ReX dynoed last week before the cam swap, and it did 417 RWHP and 380ish TQ, but I don't have a graph of that run yet. As am I'm sure you've guessed by now, there aren't many competant dyno shops around here.

Is there anyway to figure out what you picked up or lost?
