dyno problems...HELP I recently installed a gm service crate engine into a friends 1969 chevelle....LS series 5.7 part #89017653(ls6 crate engine) ported and milled heads,lm7 truck intake,30lbs injectors, truck harness and ecm....my problem.... he had a shop dyno tune the engine and they said it made 248hp at the rear wheels?????? this is a 405 hp crate motor... they are blaming my intake for the loss of power. I under stand drivetrain loss but 157hp....please help????
more info too though...
ported heads on a stock cammed (ls6 cam) motor? There were a number of different LS6 cams, what year is this one? What kind of trans? If it's a th350 or 400 with a loose stall, then those numbers are pretty much on-point for a setup like that on a Mustang dyno. The fancy head money would make more HP if used for intake and cam.

All that is said above is true. If you're running a TH350-400 trans, heavy rear, and the truck intake, plus the mustang dyno all add up to some good low dyno numbers. Doesn't necessarily mean its slow! How does it feel when driven? Is there any abnormal sounds from the motor? Any access to the tune to post up? There are many things in a tune that can kill power as well.

if the converter wasn't locked during the pull it will read lower as well
Swap intakes and see that the converter is locked in the retune if your guy is looking for dyno numbers. Get him on the track and see what he traps, that's the bottom line.
