What strange maybe is ho much your pwr fell off stock... loks like it peaked around 5400 and then dropped. I dynoed my wife's 2k this week stock and it peaked at 5200 and held a flatline to 6000 revlimiter, with no drop at all. Do you have a factory ls6 intake? (2001-2004 model?)

I'm comparing your stock dyno to mine, nothing else. The curve is on it's way down at the 5500 "x" vector line on the graph. Mine was completely horizontal at 6000 whereas yours is at about a 20 degree dive at 6000. That's all I was wondering is why. Lol. I know all cars run differently, just curious. Do yoy have a stock ls6 manifold (what year is ur car?), did you have a catback or any intake air filter or anything when you made the 307? Maybe the plugs were worn or old? Just trying to decide how "healthy" my wife's stock car is... Sorry for all the questions.
