What gives?
So I finally got my car put on the dyno to the tune of 383rwhp 350rwtq. So why is it that my torque #'s are so much lower than the horsepower? The mods I have are in the signature.

Most cams will have a bigger increase in hp than tq. If you wanted more torque you should have gotten a torque cam

Our motors like to spin. Torque and HP should cross at 5252RPM's (HP going up, torque dropping off)....but the LSx will spin much past that.
Once cammed, this shows even more because of how well the motor breathes in the upper RPM's.

The specs on my cam are 224/230 575/588 114 LSA 112 Centerline. Also when I put it on the Dynojet the temp outside was 101 degrees and 42% humidity. So how much power would that suck up being that it was so hot?

Depends on the dyno's software and how updated it is....
Some correct for the temp, some don't. At least that is what I was told by the shop owner here.

I don't have the screen anymore so do you think this is hindering performance? Will this cause anything to be damaged?

if its dyno tuned the screen won't matter the big throttle body may hinder the torque

Kind of low on the torque side, i am an auto and i've put down 340 with an ss3600.

Are there any ways to increase my torque without changing the cam or losing horsepower numbers?

How much power do you think I would pick up with the mods already done? Lets say with some Trickflow 215's?

With a good tune, a low end estimate would be 20hp and 15 lbs/ft. at the rear wheels.
