Default Low hp numbers after tuning

I have Lt hedders,ory,loudmouth,lid.TCI3500stall and just had cam(TR224,112lsa)installed.Well it dynoed 316HP Iknow A4 dont dyno high,but was thinking 350hp.My speed shop is trying to figure out.At w.o.t it is showing 8% load like the car is at idle instead of wide open throttle.Is it a bad pcm or what?The car is a 98formula.Please help figure it out.

8% load, holy handsandwhich Chewbaccha, your Flux capacitors must need to be revalved!

Seriously, did somebody try to tune the car in SD for the cam, and attempt to turn the MAF back on and forget to put the CL temp back to normal?

Are you saying at WOT the scanner showed you were at 8% TPS?

No, he's saying the LOAD pid showed 8%; the LOAD is computed from the airmass or airflow, so some possible causes:
a. VE table is too low
b. MAF table is too low or broken
c. MAP sensor is broken
d. spark advance is too low
