What spark plugs are you using? How old? What gap? Wires? What headers? Are the wires touching the headers? That can ruin a plug wire very quickly.

more importantly what does your truck run at the track? That would tell us everything we need to know.

my buddys bone stock 2v runs 14.2s, all he has is Nitto 555's

Why did you assume the transmission was the culprit for the low numbers? Does the truck run and idle well? Good throttle response? Can you post the dyno sheet for us to see.

I'd think that cam is bit large for your current build also, What heads and intake are you running?

runing ac delco 41110 plugs gaped at .040, autolite wires which are only around 3 months old, pacesetter long tube headers and they are wrapped and the wires are not touching

well i throttle response was kind of shitty, it bounced off the limiter a couple of times before going into second, and over drive was in and out constantly.
i will post the pic of the dyno sheet in a second

[/QUOTE]I'd think that cam is bit large for your current build also, What heads and intake are you running?[/QUOTE]
everything is stock as far as intake and heads go.
i bought that cam about 3 years ago fro another project i had going on, is there a possibility that the cam is whats causing the issues?

Your shifts may be part of your issue. I shift mine with a 227/235 .612/.624 113lsa at 7k. Dropped .4 seconds in the 1/4 growing from 6k to 6600 shift points. Back to back runs

Take it to the track. A cam'd v6 will put that down LOL. Either that dyno was done in the wrong gear, or it is off, or horrid tuning which I could not think it would even run if it was out that much. Stock 6.0's make more then that. Shift points is not going to net you another 100 hp. I would shift that cam at about 65-6700. Something def out for sure.

well since the truck does idle kind of shitty when i first start it im going to send the pcm back to nelson and ask them to revise the tune if they can. ill gover my mods with them again and hopefully they,ll work with me a little. ill see if i can get them to up the shift points a little

that that is quite a bit of difference its diffidently worth a shot
well the reason i chose 6500 was due to the fact that i am still on the stock intake, but i will definitely try 6800 and see how she acts up there.


i guess ill just have to go over every little thing i can think of that can be wrong. i guess it could be a combination of things that could be hurting me. i am looking for a tbss intake too that should help a little and im also looking into getting a set of 862 heads worked to see if i can up the compression a bit.

BTW i really want to thank you guys for the advise, i follow this forum pretty regularly and see your names come up a lot. i think its awesome that you share your knowledge and try to help others.
