Tuned, and some thougths

Hello, tuned my car yesterday, got the result of 540 hp and 740 nm. my car is not a stroker. and i know that the tuner i was at has a dyno that dosent show any fake numbers. He told me that there was a lot more to give, but the intake manifold put it to stop. if he boosted 31 psi or 36 there was no differnce in horsepower,
He tells me to put a new intake on the car and tune again to achive more power.
My spec list is below, i dont know wich turbine house i have.

What are your thoughts about this guys?

I had to use a converter (546 lb/ft) and for a non stroked out car, that looks dangerous.....and on a 6 speed like previous poster mentioned. Shoot for below 400lb/ft (whatever that is in nm) if I were you. Good luck.

I would get swapped to a 5 speed before messing with an intake manifold at this point.

Agree with the tranny points. That's a LOT for a 6 speed. As for your power issues
1. Cams are limiting you. HKS cams are not a real power option. More of an over all increase over stockers. Look into some GSC, cosworth or kelford cams.
2. Intake and throttle body. MAP rev3 and milspec or something along those lines.
Those easy changes should liven things up for you.

With those kinds of numbers I suggest upgrading more than just the tranny. Good to focus on the drivetrain next.

How Is 546ft/lb of torque dangerous for a built motor?? I don't know where that came from.

OP, your transmission isn't going to enjoy that power as much as you are. You could make more power with a real set of cams, or from an intake manifold/throttle body upgrade, but you will be shortening the life of the transmission even more.

a camshaft swap would help more power,as well as a ported intake

Id be worried about those manley h-beams, they've failed at lower torque than that.

Crazy numbers though, 1-3rd 'should' be ok but 4th-6th will be feeling the pain.
