    Default Pretty sure it should have made more H.P

    VY SS ls1 made 320hp the the rears
    Have VCM 3 cam(228 / 232 0.597” 112 LSA) , VCM OTR, Maffess tune, twin 2 1/2 cat back
    Possible big set backs include HSV exctractors and standard cats and auto(on dyno figures)?

    So looking into some pacemakers tri ys or 4 into 1's? and high flow cats ( still unsure which to go )
    and since had heads off to replace lifters, so tickled up the heads while they were off
    Any ideas if its going to be about right for the setup or its a little low in figures? Kept making power to 6700 RPM where we set the limiter.
    Cheers

    who tuned it? has it got an aftermarket stall converter?

    and definitely go 4-1's with cam and heads

    The HSV headers won't affect the dyno readout that much, just shift the torque higher in the revs and give you more top end.

    Could be the tune, if the timing is wrong or the fuel delivery is out it will drop off and only make good torque down low.

    Yeah definitely more... as mo1st said, an average cam should net around the 350 mark.
    My VY SS is putting down 339rwhp with just bolt-ons, no cam.

    Yea your torque curve is probly amazing compared to mine and these other blokes its like mine makes 10 rwkw more than my dads 383 stroked sbc ( not gen 3) on the same dyno but has the bigger torque curve and it absolutely smashes mine

    Try convincing others about that. Raced a guy who made the same power as me with bolt ons. When I had him by 3-4 lengths he started making excuses...

    blacktop is where its at.
    With my old tune it ran 12.9 over the quarter. Later on i found my auto was slowly dying.
    got the auto rebuilt and now 3500 stall. Got the guys at powertorque to retune. The old tune was terrible and oldmate thought i was mad driving it the way it was. Now makes 255kw and much better to drive now.
    Got screwed over on my first tune that cost $800 which resulted in my auto shitting itself
    Now keen to get slicks and put a good quarter mile pass down
