I've been trying to help Michael, along with some other guys, but I'm kind of at a loss. It's hard to tune a car "over the phone". This car with it's mods should be putting out some GOOD power. It's similar to Jason's setup (sardog) & yet it puts out what I did before the cam.

After looking over those 2 threads, I'm led to think that the problem isn't with his tune. If I had to guess, I'd say it's the heads. I think there's a chance that the shop that did the heads went a little wild on the port job and widened them so much it's killing his port velocity, and dropping his TQ down to turdsville. If he can, I'd suggest he put stock heads on and re-dyno and see what happens.

Mark what size cam is he running? Yhea he should be putting out what i am but not, you have to remember my heads a matched almost perfect to my cam, exhaust setup, and intake setup.
The tunning probely has a lot to do with it but, he mioght need more cam or more head.
