idk maybe the overlap on the cam… cuz it revved like a weedwacker but didnt seem to pull at all up top just rev, low end i would ALWAYS, get a backfire at 2200rpms and below at less vacuum (when you stepped on it) and under load it (in 3rd gear and stepped on it at like 40mph) it seemed like it was holding back, to rich or not enough timing…

but like I said Ill dyno it with my modified tune and his (pcmforless) tune

heres some better views my camaera sucks I have to get so close for it not to be blurry, and even then… there not good… [285rwhp@5400](mailto:285rwhp@5400) and [305rwtq@4400](mailto:305rwtq@4400) and horsepower seems start climbing again at 5600 when we stopped it…

135 is low as shit dude…it should be around 170-195 for a healthy motor.

Do you have low compression pistons??

are they 135 across the board or a few lower ones?

185 across the board… and yes I did the motor build, new oil pump, new lifters, adjusted the valves my self 0 lash plus 3/4 turn, primed motor before start-up, broke it in at 2500 for 20 minutes, .oo12 clearance between pistion and cylinder walls, .0014 ring gap, degree the cam and came out to be 108, had the head sent to a shop in florida and they flowed 270@ 550 lift at 28 inches of mercury, .0002 bearing clearance… another words:blahblah.
