Is my power normal?

I dynoed with all that is listed in my sig and only made 335rwhp and 630tq. That seems kinda low from what I have been reading. I am new to the diesel forums and am looking for some advice. Are there any pro and cons to the stuff I am running. I also have recently installed the banks bighead wastegate and current am making 30psi boost.
thanks for the help

For just a power pup i dont think they are totally out of line but are just a bit on the low side! A lb7 usually will dyno roughly 230/240 rwhp stock so after adding the 100 or so extra from the power pup your close to where you should be just a bit low. things like dyno type, dyno opereator, gear dynoed in and what not have a huge roll in the final numbers. Being that u have a built trans u might wanna try trading the bullydog for a PPE tuner!

Yeah...that doesn't sound too far off. But 05_lly is right.....with you having an ATS tranny, and all that other stuff....I would do a PPE or EFI live.....then you can get the power you want. From my personal research and findings.....not too many people are satisfied with Bullydog stuff....and the people who don't have problems with it or like it....say they wished they would have got something else.

Something doesn't sound right to me..........we dyno A LOT of trucks here and with what you have, you should be making at lease 400-425hp and 800-850tq. And since you have our tranny, LOAD IT UP.....she'll hold it. Mine made 493 at the wheels with whats in my sig, soo.........

I want to get EFI live but I don't have the cash right now. What do the PPE's go for and where can I get a good deal on one. I really am not that happy with the bully dog stuff, On all tunes the power seems very inconsistant, if I stab the gas at the same speed 3 times in a row then I get three different results.
