I have something taking some power from me, Any ideas?




Mods are in sig. I did have a knock sensor code but we removed it and checked the timing* which was 27. The truck seems to bog in third for some reason, 2nd pulls great! The fuel pressure is on the money.
WTF IS STEALING MY POWER
my truck hit the speed limiter on the dyno at 155 mph!

not so fast my friend.......your expecting about 25-30p too much outa that thing......if you hit 330 you can call those awesome numbers. I wouldnt expect much more especially on a mail order tune. Nelson is the best mail order guy out there IMO, but without a dyno or street tune, it wont be much better. Also you siad you were getting a knock sensor code, another thing you have to look at is if youi were getting KR or not. If the sensor wasnt working or you have it removed you have no way of knowing if you are getting KR, it doesnt have to be audible for it to be killing power.

BlueCajun5.3 is making 340RWHP on a mail order tune with similar mods and a smaller cam in a smaller engine. I think you should be 350+RWHP easy........
Sorry, but the only suggestion I have is a dyno tune.

Mail order tunes are educated guesses. 
You should keep in mind the converter is going to take some power away. I think your close to on target. You may could get more out of it with a real tune, but I don't think your below the norm.
