very confused! I need some help! Well i got my car dynoed and tuned.. and according to the guys running the dyno 370 RWHP is awesome for a cam only ls1.. they said their numbers aren't exagerated like a lot of other dynos.. they said they were the REAL numbers.. but anyways.. starting out.. With my F11 cam no tuning.. I ran 301 RWHP.. which they said was normal.. then on a couple of runs i ran like 369 torque and 331 HP.. but when they were done i ran 330 torque and 356 HP.. It just seems very off.. most people with the F11 cam are way higher than that.. and the torque seems very low! I am taking it back one more time to them and they are going to hook up a lab top in my car and have me drive as they check it out.. But what could be robbing my power?
Either its the tune or i have like an intake leak or something.. What would a leaking intake be like? can anyone help me?
If anyone has the F11 and know how some of the stuff was tuned.. let me know! Thanks!

most i see cam only are atr about 390 rwhp maybe 400, im not real sure about that cam, but those are 6 speed cars, i woudl think you should be around that first mark you hit, i dont see why it droped after they were done like that

as far as i know they didn't lock the converter.. maybe i should check that out.. but even if they didn't the torque #'s shouldn't be that low should they? most people on tech said i'd atleast get to 380 rwhp.. not in the 350's.. I think the dyno might be SAE corrected or something like that.. not sure though..
I am not close to being an expert on cams and unlocked vs. locked with a torque converter but I have seen other posts of people with autos having similar 330tq numbers on the dyno with the converter unlocked. With the converter locked I have seen the numbers jump almost +40. I wouldn't be too worried. Have you got any track times yet?
