Everyone talks about all cam only LS1 cars making between 425ish rwhp. This is almost always through a 6 speed and almost always using a ridiculous $1200 FAST intake setup. These numbers are easily duplicated with a good LT1 heads/cam package through a 6 speed for about the same amount of money (Considering the LT1 guys can spend all of that FAST intake money on our heads).

Looks like you are getting a little detonation to me, Too much timing? or too lean of an A/F..

That's a fairly normal looking curve for a smoothing of zero.
You don't see the jaggedness at the lower rpm's because it shoots through that range much more quickly.
