Need help with Dyno results...
I had LT/Hi-Flow CAT headers, CAI, FAST 102, cam and a dyno tune done on my 09 base MN6.
The car runs and sounds awesome. It is a little stall prone while cold, (will be bringing it in for that). It has a nice idle lope and I can really feel the power! Also, the tune is conservative and that is fine with me.
I am wondering if someone can explain why the torque line is so wavy at the lower RPM's.
I'm no expert and would appreciate any input.
Thanks...

The torque curve is going to be a very dynamic thing and the overall shape looks pretty normal. The reason for the roughness in the graph is because the smoothing is turned down to 2 which helps inflate the number just a touch (1-3 hp) because it is picking up the high spots in the roughness. Ask your tuner to give you a graph on smoothing 5 and it should look a lot cleaner than that but it would likely only show high 460's.

Maybe I can have him make it less smooth so I can peak higher! lol.
Thanks again for the insight.

No reason yours wouldn't play well with a blower should you feel the need for f/i in the future.

My supercharged LS3 has a 219/231 115 in it. Always thought it would make a good mild n/a cam. Your results show you don't need a really big cam in an LS3 for a really nice increase in power No reason yours wouldn't play well with a blower should you feel the need for f/i in the future.
No reason yours wouldn't play well with a blower should you feel the need for f/i in the future.Also wanted one that had a lower power band.
So far, very Happy!
