Low Dyno I put in the thunder 224/224 112 cam in my 2000 ss in june. I dynoed before the cam and put down 350 rwhp and 360 torque. Since then I have added the cam, an ls6 intake and 3.73 gears and custom tuning at thunder( I put down 372rwhp there and only added the intake since then, but I didnt get a tq number because they were using wideband o2), yesterday at the same dyno in similar conditions I put down 384 rwhp and only 344 torque. I just cant figure out why my tq is so low. I tried capping my cut out and that made no difference either. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Low Dyno Have you ataped it to see if you are getting any knock retard? Also look at the LTRIMS, the timing, WOT, etc. Its more than likely a tuning issue.

Re: Low Dyno 384 hp with only a cam sounds pretty good to me. You even have 3.73s which will cost you some power compared to a 3.42 car. Toss some race gas in there and take it back to the dyno...if your numbers go up you had some knock retard. That or borrow Autotap.

Re: Low Dyno John – 34hp is a good gain for just a cam and intake. I agree the tq seems a little low. Can you post the graph of the dyno run?
Just give me a call and we can Autotap your car.
