Default dyno question
Well my car was tuned last year and its being tore apart right now anyway> But how much more power could I have made with the correct AFR?
I have full bolt ons with a 52mm bbk, 3600 stall stock 3.23 gears and It made 291hp and 323 ft lbs. Does this sound right? This was also with a custom cam of 226*234 .565 lift 110 lift.

AFR at full throttle was 13.8. Could I have made more power than what I had or what.

Unless their putting stalls in manual trannies these days I'd say it's an auto.

I made 336hp/325tq at the wheels in an automatic with a 52mm tb, 218/224 .570 lift cam, pacesetter mids, hooker aerochamber, 355ci(.030 over) and 30lb injectors, 3.73s. That was about 4 years ago, so it could use another go around on the chassis dyno to see of anything has changed.

WEll it was tuned by ION. But isnt that AFR way off or is that good?
I thought it should be right around 13.5 or lower at WOT.

It ran good though even with those low numbers, it was running consistent 12.2x
