Do you have a wide band O2 system? You can't really do much tuning without one
what is that?

It's a sensor that lets you know your air to fuel ratio. It is essential for self tuning.

thats with a dyno tune also.
It depends on the dyno. He's only at 246 rwhp. Going back to the same dyno (which would be the only fair way to compare) he'll be lucky if he gets 30 rwhp with those cams alone.

Now if he get's a good custom dyno tune that could possibly add to the numbers too, but 30 hp from those cams alone will be generous IMO.

No way is he getting 300 rwhp on that same dyno. Not even close.

I have no knowledge of how good the Predator preset tunes are, however you should be doing a bunch better than that--I turned 262/305 on a Dynojet with a UPR catted X, Magnaflow catback, Pro-Prods 70mm TB and upper plenum, and a highly tweaked Delta Force tune of my own doing.

Looks like he's running an auto Cliff, his numbers sound about right if that's the case.

Back to the topic, you're not going to hit 300RWHP with the cams alone.

If you want a accurate comparison (instead of some magical number) stick to the same dyno.

If it's a 5-speed and your tuner told you he "tweaked your shift points", then yes, I would try a different place...

lmao i agree i thought for sure it was auto when you said that.. cams aren't going to put you at 300 Get some trick flow heads and u will be well over your 300 hp goal. or just buy some NAWS- 250 shot ftw.
