so the heads would drop that much, i thought that was the whole point of having the heads ported, no not knocking lloyd at all and the work he does, but i'm just wondering why would make the eldelbrock heads even after porting flow so low?

I feel what you are saying but they are not just edelbrock heads anymore, they are ported LE2 heads which is a big difference. I'm awaiting on lloyds response as well i'm sure he can give me an answer, great guy to deal with. I know dyno's can be decieving but that's really low edelbrock heads or not, you can get 327rwhp from pretty much bolt ons from a LT1 i'm sure definetly from ported LE2 setup. We will just have to wait and see

A friend of mine said that it may be the fuel pressur regulator, any chance of that? I don't have an aftermarket one at all. Woulden't the tuner have seen that it's not getting enough fuel ?

We really need to see the A/F read out, It really shows more usefull info than the dyno graph. You may have an issue as simple as a clogged fuel filter choking your engine out. And I dony care what anyone here says there is no way you should be losing 140 ft lbs. of torque from 2.5k to 4.5k... A v-8 torque curve should be a plateau. The car in my sig has 375 ft lbs from 2k to 6.5k, with a peak of 392 @ 4300. Look into the fuel situation... Change the filter, and look into a good pump. -Chris

thanks for the info, i just swapped in new 02 delco sensors when i got back from the dyno and new delco fuel filter? It fixed my idle issue, but now sure if that is the problem car seems to run the same

I dont have any experience with edelbrocks, but they are 170cc? Arent the stock heads 185cc? le2's are usually around 205cc, im not sure if lloyd opens the edelbrocks up that far. I think ported stockers would be the better option.

yes but the smaller runners will hit their max flo long before larger ones, you have a larger cam than me, on smaller heads...... think about it. that being said, lloyd would have not set you up with that combo if it wasnt gunna work, I still think your problem is with the fuel system. G/L
