Default you should be happy

i put a TR trak cam 231/234 .640/.590 in my car last week and only got 331 RWHP. TR Tech told me that the Mac mids unported, 2 1/2" y pipe, and ls1 intake were killing my power and the cam you went with is even bigger than mine so i think maybe you need to upgrade your intake manifold.

You did a max of 366hp. Im pretty sure that was unlocked. If it was locked it would be more like 385-390hp. Thats not to bad. I did 372 last year on that dyno unlocked and ran an 11.9 that same week shutting down early due to 411 gears and a 26inch tire. Go the opening weekend at the grove run 11s and be happy. Oh ya what part of Chicago are you in?

I'd see if they can work a little more on the tune. Some cars like a little more fuel than the 13:1 AFR a lot seem to target. Your cam might make more power with 12.5:1. It sounds like that wasn't even something the tuner considered if he only made three pulls.
