Default silverado 6.2L numbers

hi, this is my first post on here so not really to sure if this is where this belongs or not? but I have a 2012 Silverado ext. cab short bed 4x4 6.2L that I have a Maggie tvs1900 on running about 8psi, a texas speed vvt2 cam, circle-d multi disk 3400 stall converter, arh 1 3/4" long tube headers, hi flow cats and borla cat back. it has the rough country 2.5" level lift on a 285/70r17 mud tire. I got it dyno tuned and she put down 465hp and 508 ft. lbs. I was hoping to get a little higher numbers out of this set up... do those numbers seem right to the rest of you fellas with close set ups? thanks!

ive dyno'd a stock 6.2 with a tune and it was around 335 rwhp and 380 rwhp torque on a dynojet

8psi should net ya 20 rwhp per psi from a small blower like that

you have small headers for a 6.2, cats that are hurting ya some and depending on size of Y pipe and catback that may be hurting ya

also that small blower is a heat pump so they are probably keeping timing to say 10 or 12*

ya I was hoping for 550rwhp out of it... 465 seems very low. I was figuring on 330 rwhp stock plus 160rwhp from the blower, cam claims 70rwhp, then headers and hi flow cats and exhaust was sayin 30-40rwhp and a locked up converter at wot should help #'s too. the y pipe is 3" going into a 3.5" collector then a 3.5" single borla cat back.

Seems low to me for a healthy 6.2 on 8 psi. Mud tires wont help along with all the other mentioned things. How many rpm are you turning it?

Numbers seem way low to me...I had a 2011 CC 2wd 6.2 with ARH long tubes and a tune and made 380 to the tire on a dynojet...seems 8psi and a cam should net a lot more than 80hp more to the wheels..

Seems on the low side to me, and I'm guessing it's all in your tune. Are you running the factory fuel system? If your truck is not a flex fuel your already maxing out your injectors/pump. I think the flex fuel injectors are 52lb, so if your truck is FF your close to maxing them out anyways... May have something to do with it?

I believe all 09+ 6.2s in the trucks are the L9H which means they would all be FF...stock fuel system should be fine on 93 octane

Correct! I forgot about that... The base fuel pressure under WOT will drop some, but the 52lb stockers are still fine for that on 8 psi... Probably close to 90-100% IDC though.... I'm gonna bet it's your tune, probably on the conservative side.

The maggie blower came with injectors that I believe are 65 lb. and it's on the stock flex fuel pump. It was tuned when I took it to get a dyno tune it was stalling and rpm dipping and jumping coming to a stop. They picked me up 17hp and 72ft lbs on the dyno tune from tuning and locking up the converter. I believe they took it up to 6500rpm on the dyno. And I really wasn't happy with those #'s but the guy at the shop told me my mud tires are heavy really killing dyno #'s but I can't see a tire eating up 100hp that I was hoping for more haha. Thanks for all the replys though guys!
