Default help with reading dyno

paging all tuners, my tuner and i have been trying to figure out why my car isn't running what it should. (mods are in sig) we finally put it on the dyno and the graph has a big dip in it at 5200 rpms. has anyone experienced this or know where to start looking? there is more im leaving out, but you can find the whole topic here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...l#post17661758

i just wanted to get the big tuners opinions.





thanks

Timing or change in fuel is what normally makes a dip on the dyno.

Could be knock or the converter unlocking.

Have you tried a run in 2nd gear to see if it does the same thing?
