I assume 4x4 also.
That combo will not hit 12's you need 4.56 gears.

i dont care about track times, i just figured it would run harder, stock TB & intake. i mean from a stop it barely barely spins the tires at WOT. yes CAI
thats the dyno graph from wednesday

You could port the throttlebody.To me you are a bigger stall and a gear change away from being able to spin the tires and get more pull in second.You need to optimize the combo.

i was referencing the tire spin as how it feels doggy, stall and gear change aside, i feel a little jipped with the price for the mods and the power i got out of them, feels like stock heads are still on there.

I understand what you are saying but what you have effectively done is move your rpm band up without supporting mods.Like installing big cam without headers or stall.I agree your heads might not be getting you where you would like to be too.
Throw some afr 205's on there and I do not believe you would be dissapointed.
