Who did the tuning? How is the car running overall? I.E., any misses, mechanical defects? Fuel pressure good? Strong spark, etc.

Was the dyno a Mustang or Dynojet? When I had my old engine setup with my EDGE 3400 stall the car only put down 285 at the rear wheels on a mustang dyno but ran 12.3 at 111 so I never got overly concerned with dyno numbers. If the car is running well take it to the track to see how it runs, that will give you the best idea if the car is where it should be power wise.

I agree with Lloyd your car should def be making more power if you used a dynojet any way to post up the graph?

I had a set of aluminium edelbrock heads ported. Not sure what the problem could be at all. I talked to lloyd and he said that it should be more as well. Just like i stated 370 plus, i swear it's always something.

I would go through everything, plugs/wires, connections, etc. There has to be something wrong or the problem is the tune. One of the two...

Save the graph to your puter and use photobucket.com to host them.

Those numbers sound way off. Im running on mildly ported stock heads that dont flow near as well as LE2s with his 228/236 cam. At 5K with an unlocked SS3600 I made 318/330. Either your heads or exhaust would be the weak link. Also what was the AFR for the pulls?

Double check to make sure you plug wires good and are going to the correct cylinders. Once I had 2 swapped and it seemed to run ok but was way down on power when I went to the dyno!

ok will do guys, thanks for all the help, and ya but why would the aluminim eldelbrock heads be a weak link, and I have full confindence in lloyd that his product is the truth. I'm really curious as to where it could have went wrong? I'll try and get the graph posted asap thanks again. Anymore help would be much appreciated. And i'm sure that the tune should be good, but i'm going to let you guys look at it

I had dyno lab in marietta GA dyno tune my car for the second time, the first time was after the first install of the LE2 package and the second time was after I had the bottom end rebuilt. Author seemed to be great guys with good customer service from what I have seen so far. I'll check back with them to see what they recommend as well.
