second dyno was added 224 581 112+2 cam 918 springs Jethot LT's and ORP 396rwhp 384rwtq
third dyno was added TEA heads and ASP pully along with the 12 bolt and junk 420rwhp 396rwtq
4th dyno i added a ported tbody and cutout and i think my tune got worse or somethin but i only made 407rwhp 389rwtq i also added the wheels for this dyno session
since then ive done the new mufflex y pipe over the hooker ORP, and swap the 224 out for the FMS F13 cam, what should i make after tuning?

Yeah, you really have to judge against other cars
of type; because tuning is only eliminating any
nonidealities and it's anybody's guess how far from
perfect you might be at any time / set of untuned
mods. Some compensate each other and you can
get goor performance with two things whacked in
opposite directions, etc.

Have you been to the track since adding the new cam?? Interested to see the results in ET/MPH over the 224 cam you had before.

Thanks,
Craig
