Pretty close to my numbers with a se257 cam. Dynos vary, I was hoping for the 100 hp mark but was in the mid 90s for hp and 110 ft/lbs on torque. Still I am very happy every time I twist the throttle.

NorCalFBLO's setup is almost identical to yours, except he's running the FatCat.. just for ***** and grins i'd ask him to email you his map, save yours to a computer, load his in to the PCV, and have it re-dyno'd..not tuned, just redynod and see if the power improves.. it'll probably run a bit more rich, but it's not a horrible thing.. and if it doesn't, just reload the other map back in to the PCV

Rockford is almost 1000' elevation. You will lose some power due to that.

Also, I have discovered that there is some significant variation in OEM combustion chamber size from head to head so if you were unlucky enough larger ones you can lose something there, and if you didn't check and set deck height there is also some variance there that can lose you some more.

All little bits alright, but they can add up.
