Default Need help badly

Any Help? i have a 01 ss. i just put on slp heads a new camshaft and an 80mm throttle body and intake manifold. The people running the dyno told me my car should be putting over 500+ hp to the rear with all the extras i have as well. I have the bigger injectors, cold air intake and headers with 3" pipe all the way down. It boggs and it barely holds idle. can someone give me some ideas on what is going on? thanks

PCM = Your car's brains (aka the computer). Did you you send your PCM in to be tuned or was the dyno shop supposed to do it? Who installed all the parts?

You don't have to ship it anywhere. I was just asking if you did. You should have the dyno shop tune it, if it hasn't been tuned with all those mods.

Dyno and dyno tune are two different things. What it sounds like they did was run it on the dyno just to get horsepower and torque specs. If they dyno tune it, they will run it on the dyno, get the info they need to adjust to your mods, so your car will run better and more powerful. Hell, I bet it would run alot better if they just tuned your computer for the bigger injectors.The bigger injectors are dumping more fuel in the car, because the computer still thinks you have stock injectors.

Hopefully someone will chime in and correct me if I'm wrong about anything.

I'll chime in. But, you're not wrong about anything

It sounds like your car is gonna be a beast when you get it tuned.
