Default dissappointed with tune results

so here's a quick rundown on what i have
stock bore b16
9:1 compression
gsr cams
precision 1000cc injectors
garret t3/t4 50 trim
edlebrock victor x intake
e85
tuned on hondata s200


...at 14psi its making 260whp 160ft/lbtq... i dont wanna get lost in the numbers game but my god that seems rediculously low. i dont know exactly what kind of timing he is running, but maybe he is running super conservative? I was expecting around 330

you may need a bigger turbo with less backpressure to make 330 on 14 lb? I'm no expert so I dunno

what kind of dyno did you put down 260 on?

do you have the dyno chart?

Doesnt sound right. Even a stock B16 should make over 300 on 93 at that boost level

I dont see why it would need better cams? I made more power with b16 cams a couple years ago. Alot of guys are making well over 600whp with gsr cams as well.

I say bring it to the track and see what it runs.

that is for sure very low for an e85 fuel. Post up the graph I'll like to see it to believe it. Although 50trim isn't big enought but the fuel should help a whole lot.

^^^^ Exactly, you can't just go off figuers if you havent even drove the car lol. How do we know this dyno does'nt just give extremely low numbers out ? A dyno is just a tuning tool at the end of the day....

Who's tuning it? If its adrenaline you found your problem and I recommend removing your car from there shop before you are back to square one.

If its lowe performance his "John's" dyno is accurate compared to others my car has been on...i made 6 less whp on lowe's dyno "All motor" but that day it was also 100+ degree's and i drove the car to the dyno...so id say its spot on compared to the 3 other dyno's my car's been on.

Numbers seem low to me for that engine on that boost level on e85 but a dyno graph would help. Have him email it to you then post it here.
