So you lost 30 altogether, or is it a typo?

Morgan, I wish you would have put the wideband on the car while it was on the dyno. If you are still running that program from the 224 then your timing and AF will be way out of wack. Shoot by Bill Heard and give a tech a 20 to flash you back to stock. Or pay RP to tune your car with the current mods, which makes sense because if you flash back to stock then you will lose the work they did for you. Remember, I talked to them for you and dyno tuning is 130 per hour now, no other fees. Keep me posted bro.

thanks ron, yeah that was a typo, I wasnt thinking, I put a Ls6 cam in my car, and before I even put a single cam in my car I had 335, I just dynoed at 320 after I installed the cam, Im guessing Im running rich , really really rich, so Ill go to RP and see what they can do for me, thanks ron, Only reason I didnt run the wideband, is because Arthur wanted 100 bucks to do that, and I only had 65bucks on me.

Then it made XXX with the 224, and now makes 320 with the LS6 cam installed. He is basing his 15 HP loss off of the 335 HP his car dyno'd before any cam swapping took place. Make since now? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
