IMO I would not get hung up on the dyno, but use it as a tool to measure your gains. I dyno with airfilter, normal pressure in the tires and pump gas, just like I run at the track you know???CAM it, after you have a CAI, and some LTs and you will be very happy even with a small cam in the 224 range and 114.

Code Alert
A minor mis-shift and threw a code. "To lean bank 1". Any suggestions. I am running a modified predator tune, been fine for a year. Should I clear it and forget about it or make an adjustment. Thanks for the assist.

hmmmm well a cam will do it for sure, but you are leaving some HP and some great low end torq with out LTS, even though you are flowing bettter sith X pipe... I waited on LTs too long hoing seat time would make me better at the track, well respectable in comparison to our forum brothers. BEst I could do was a 12.3 @ 115 with vararam, hurts short throw and BFG DRs. Warning once you start big mods (LTs a big mod???) it gets hard to stop 
IMO some LTs would getyou close and the way they wake up the cr as far as the sound and feal would be a great improvement and give you some more perma grin. A cam is more work, less expesive, but you will need a tune for sure. If you go with a small cam, you may not get the peak HP but it will pull like a train on the street. I went with a TR 224 227 114 as I was on the FI path... loved the CAM so much, that I jumped ship and am going with a bigger cam and some worked heads.
Where are you located brother? We could meet up and you can drive my car as it is right @ 400, with a small cam and LTs and it would give you an idea about how LTs sound and what a car feals like with a small cam
