with gt40's your peak hp is not going to be to much higher then stock, probably just over 5k, so you probably wern't going to make much more that that even if it did keep climbing.

you are going to lose a ton of power to the wheels because trucks have more rotating mass, but you should still be making atleast 240-250hp I would think.....

^^^^^ I am with him. I really think there is some valve float gone on.. Are there any shims under the springs at all. Not saying there should be but lots of time there are and the only way to know is check the installed height. Being new the pressures should be real close if they are installed right.

LMAO, yeah those numbers are way low. My stock 93 put down 202hp and 268lbft of torque with high flow cats. You've got something up.

How soon is your timing coming in? It should be at full advance by 2500 RPMS if you are going with top performance. Sucks that the numbers where low on the first one.Good luck!
