How much power did you have before?

What cam did you have before?

What are your mods?

What did it dyno before? Was it dynoed before with the stock trans/converter or with the trans swapped?

What brand of dyno?

What does the power curve look like? Where did peak tq and peak rpm occur? Was it tuned for the cam by a reputable tuner? If so what air/fuel ratio and wide open throttle timing was used?

We know literally nothing about your vehicle or what has/hasn't been done so no one can really help without as much detail as you can possible give. If it's not tuned there is your answer. If it is tuned it could be the cam is off a tooth.
