OK, I did my camswap and header install over a couple weekends and then took my car to the nearest tuner. My car ran so crappy after the install on my Steeda re-flash that I felt that it wasn't safe to drive the car any farther than his shop.I am not badmouthing his shop by any means as he seems like a great guy and he was honest with me when he told me that my car was one of (or the) first cammed 4.6L that he had done.
So the results were fine. Peak HP was 290@5580 and the torque was still 273.5 at the same point in the powerband. Peak torque (just north of 300 ft-lbs) appears to be just a hair above 4k. I've never been dissapointed with the power the car makes and I have just recently learned how to harness it with my DRs at the track.
However, I have had other issues which include:
After looking at other people's dyno charts, I feel that my A/F ratio = teh lose. It looks pretty funky compared to others I have seen especially down low.
Take a look at the pics below and discuss. The charts just re-surfaced this past weekend otherwise I would have posted this back in April.

However, I have had other issues which include:
- Sometimes the car is completely undrivable when started cold in the morning. I actually have to pull to the side of the road and let it warm up to the second line (where the dotted area begins) on the temp gauge. After that, it drives pretty much like a stock car....
- At 1500RPMs, the car bucks. I could drive all day long at 1000RPM in 5th, but if I go up to 1500 and try to drive a steady speed, it bucks and surges.
