My only thought was the heads are pretty big but I don't know enough about the cam to say if its a good combo or not.

Very similar to my upcoming build for my 94GT. I am using TF170 heads. I am expecting to see 300-325 RWHP. Your results seem low. What Dyno was used? Some return lower or higher results than others. Also what tune do you have?

I’m thinking the heads too. I think with that cam, AFR 165 heads would have been more ideal. I think 185s are much better suited to 331 and up builds.

Use stock rockers on exhaust
I was looking forward to your response to learn a little. Can you explain why this would help?

Also are you sure it was running solid? I think I would start simple and pull and inspect the plugs to see what they say is going on. Start simple.

Additionally, if I might add....I had almost the exact same numbers with stock 19# injectors and stock maf. Just some food for thought

This makes me wonder about the head/cam combination then as it didn't matter with more air or fuel, then I would say its something deeper.

That’s not surprising. At those numbers you haven’t exceeded the limits of the injectors or MAF. That tells you the bottleneck is somewhere else.

The 1.7 rockers is making the exhaust lobe much bigger than it needs to be. Valve opens earlier, valve shuts later. Even the lift amount effects cylinder de-pressuring in a negative way.

I will reiterate my point;

Take it to the track!! Hell, buy a dragy and get some data on the street. A dyno is a tuning tool and they’re not always 100% accurate.

Math doesn’t lie though!!

Have your car weighed and we can plug the values into a well known formula to calculate your power level. Give it a go before you go further down the rabbit hole.

Dynojet, and it's currently tuned with BE powered by CoreTuning

Looks like valve float the way it is falling off. Those heads would definitely like more cam and rpm.
