I didn't look at the examples, btu I noticed something very strange looking at some logs. The MAF flattens out at about 6200 rpm. Before there, it has a steady climb upwards, but once it hits roughly 6200, it goes flat and ceases any increase in airflow.

When do you think you will be able to post a few sound clips? I'm sure it sounds terrific.

How much peak ignition timing are you running?You may need more with that big cam.

what is the hz it is flattening out have you tweaked the maf table? Im assuming you are using the maf. I like running the maf it really smoothes everything out makes fueling more consistent, the peaks and valleys of the 02's dont deviate as much vs SD

I haven't done much tuning on it yet. I'm planning on going to the track this Friday. I'll try and get some done, but will prolly do some there at the track.

I don't know what hz the MAF is flatlining at, but I know it isn't maxed if that's what you're getting at.

Something else interesting. I put the GTech on it today. The GTech shows HP levels off and holds level from 6150 up to 7000. I belive the intake does become a restriction. I will try and remember to put it up at the track and see how it does with the cutouts though.

Check out these CFM losses once the LS6 intake manifold is placed on a set of cylinder heads.

The names are on the top of each flow test. The bottom test (link) was performed on a set of PP cylinder heads.
