Low whp on f1x build any ideas?
So i have a 2015 c7 z06 with z07 pakage im currently running a f1x at around 19.8 psi and im only making about 970whp on e70 that is really low specially for a manual car
i have all the suporting mods like cam heads clutch 2 inch headers no cats amc tune port injection dual meth nossels tripple fuel pumps 1700 injectors flex fuel sensor etc i mean everything to be a high hp car atleast to break into the 1000whp mark easy but its not
air fuel ratio is around 12.2 to 12.4 26 degrees of timming no pulley slip or tire slip any toughts?

My c7 made the same power at 20psi on pump gas and meth, i would assume its a tune issue or something, post a dyno graph that might help identify the issue

It's the tune. I am betting you have a tuner that is approaching this tune like a LS car. I would put that car in a trailer and send it to a quality tuner. CPR in Phoenix, LMR in Houston, ETC.

Tune or Cam. Obviously tune would be the first thing to look at.

i might need to have someone look at the tune and remote tune the car if my tuner cant figure out were is all the power he just had a auto done same parts almost and it made 1050 to wheels so he must know what his doing but ever since we did cam and heads it never put the power it shold have so im also starting to wonder if the tune is not it but the heads and cam is the problem

making power is cake because a tuner has a car that made big power means absolutely nothing in terms of can it run a time, drive, and perform. Hell I witnessed a car from a place that's a vendor on hear over a year ago that was so jacked i couldn't stop laughing. If your tuner turns off torque management in the tune on an auto and damn near has the knock sensors off they suck end of story. Is your issue tune related, maybe. But it could be selection of parts.

he did mention that there was knock noise from knock sensors or something like that he feels as if something inside engine is not right like a tight bearing or something to that affect to cause some kind off drag
any input on that i just find that hard to belive since car bone stock made 545hp whp and around 550 torque

I think we might have found the problem when we switched to the lg 2 inch drop spindles the lower control arm was to close to the inner barrel of the 18 inch wheels (CCB brakes) and when on dyno being strapped down and under power the lower part of control arms were rubbing on the inside of the rear wheels
We switched to 19 inch wheels but the tires were not drags so they just spined on the dyno at 4500rpm so now i will have to wait till i get a 15 inch conversion kit and try again and hopefully it fixes the issue of lost power but its the most logic explenation
