Dyno tune 01 lightning

Took my 01 lightning to the dyno shop the other day and only pulled 307 rwhp, and 475 tr. The truck has a 6lb lower pully, cold air induction kit, boost bypass, ram air induction hood ( which puts the cold air onto the 12 inche filter ), flowmaster exhust, and a helix bore spacer. This also include the guy doing a custom tune. Now he says that there dyno is true, and gives the correct readings. Any takes on this, it cost me $600.00 bucks.

With those mods your I think your numbers should be higher, 360rwhp is pretty much stock, 400 with a chip, pulley, CAI, for 500.00 I can have JDM do a dyno tune and there considered to be expensive, as for a custom tune I'd have them redyno the corfirm the numbers them send the sheets to the tuner of your choice and get a tune from a repuitable L tuner, something is not right.

A helix bore spacer goes between the throttle body and the intake plentium, it spins the air intake for a smooth and cooler charge. Like the tornado on tv, but also gives a 1inche spacer in the process.

How do you check the intercooler pump ? the truck still runs strong, just that the numbers are off.

Also this is the second motor, the frist one decided to let a piston head go through the passenger side of the block, ( third one back on the passenger side) this would be the same one that a year before shot a plug out. Yet ford replaced the engine, blower, and blower intake under warrenty, cost me $50.00.

With the truck running just pop the hood and see if there is coolant swirling around in the reservoir.
