YEs! Your AFR is real good!
It is "LEAN" when it is in the mid to high 12's and beyond!
Being where you're at around low 11's AFR is excellent and safe
Thanks,Matt

When using the dyno wideband, there is a time delay for the exhaust to actually hit the sensor. You have to keep that in mind when tuning on the dyno or reading the sheet. Looks good other than the probably belt slip.

I don't know what your hp goals are but I would save the cam swap cost fix the cam bolts and enjoy the car and its new found power and next mod would be forged. Dollar for dollar its a better deal because most likely its inevitable you will have to do it anyway at some point even more so if you do the cam swap you will be at the motors peak of being reliable.

Unless the belt was left very loose, you most likely had a degree or two of knock, over a slipping belt. Belt slip usually drops harder once it starts, knock retard just drops the graph in a step, which is more of what yours looks like to me.
If your going to do a cam at the same time as the cam bolts, I would strongly recommend alky injection at the same time. Otherwise I would just wait until you do a fully forged engine.
(btw this is Doug @ ECS on Mikes lap top)

Let me give you a honest answer. I have a 04Z with a novi and the same goodies you have on a stock long block which all was installed by ECS and at 8psi 581rwhp 488rwtq. I don't drive this car much so my stock block is fine. I called Chris ECS and told him I want to drop my car off for a cam upgrade and he said not to waste my money and wait for a forged motor because how much more will we get out of a cast piston before kaboom.
