Rpms not going above 4500
I have a base c6 ls2. I put the magic stick 4 cam in and the rpms wont go above 4500. It is a 6 speed. The car has long tube headers, cold air intake, corsa exhaust (no cats). No matter which gear I put it in, including neutral, it just wont raise anymore. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? Of course I didnt install it and it was on the dyno and was tuned. Any suggestions would really help me. Thank you.

Yep, time to take it back to the tuner!!!!
My guess, he changed the trans type to automatic after the dyno runs, and why it can't go past the limiters.
Hell, may have done it on purpose to allow time for the cam to mate in for a few hundred miles, and need to take it back after break in to have the trans type changed back to manual to allow it to full rev then.

Did some research and found out another issue could be a vacuum leak. I decided to take of the vavaram intake just to clean it. It wasn't that bad. I turned the car on this morning and that was it. The car now drives like it is supposed to. I took it to the tuner just to double check and everything turned out fine. Who would have thought.
