First thing first, your not giving it the fuel it needs and I bet its running lean.

Upgrade the injectors and match the MAF then dyno tune.

There is ALL your power loss there.


Now I honestly must say to anyone doing a stroker swap, I have seen very high compression 331's and 347's with AFR 185 Heads,split comp cams, headers, either racing fuel or meth injection make very nasty numbers.

How are 30# injectors not enough for an n/a build below 400hp? If anything I definitely need to match my MAF and possibly get a larger intake. I started to notice some bucking in higher gears when the throttle isn't being compressed past around 20%... as if the engine is having a temper tantrum from not being abused lol
