Motor is completely stock. 49k miles. Going to swap to an ls3 maf, see if that changes anything

Read in a few place the stock ls2 maf maxes out around 450rwhp.

There is no way your MAF is maxed out. Your tuner should know that by logging what the car is doing.

You're down somewhere in the neighborhood of 60hp. I'd be looking for a boost leak.

What procharger is it? My stock ls2 with cam, meth and headers made 700 with a 4.25" pulley on a d1sc. It's an m6 so I would expect it to be higher any way, but it made 535 with just headers and a 4.5" pulley.

I couldn't tell ya lol. I just know I was hoping for 525 and he exceeded that. Not sure what his screen name is on this forum but everyone calls him Dr. Phil.

Unless the MAF is bad... it should work fine at that power level.

I'm still running my stock 2005 LS2 MAF at 636rwhp.

If your tuner "thinks" the maf is maxed out. Please take it to a diff tuner.

SpoKe With Another Local Tuner, (Thinks I Should Be Closer To 550Rwhp), Not Sure If THe Guy Who Tuned It Is Familiar With How To Scale The MAF Tables.

Since I Already Have The Ls3 Intake Tube, I'm Going To Use ThE Ls3 Maf Sensor. (What's Another $75),
I Will Probaby End Up Taking It Somewhere Else. But Going To See If He WilL Make It Right First.

Definitely low on power. You should be seeing way more then 7.5 psi with a 4.25" pulley on a D1sc, especially with stock manifolds. Must have a pretty good boost leak somewhere for starters... Or the belt is slipping.

My stock LS6 with a 4.38" pulley would make 10-11 psi with headers.. 622hp...

I would pressure up your system and go over everything with soapy water and check for leaks... Check for belt slip.. Then go from there.

With a 4.25 pulley I would expect you to see 11-12 psi, especially on stock manifolds. Unless you're at high altitude or something.

IT Is A P1sc, I SpokE To The Tuner, He Said I Maxed Out The Frequency Of The Maf.

And Scaling ThE Maf Tables Won't Help Because Its Out Of Frequency.
