Troubles on the dyno- come in and help a brother out!

was at the dyno and had some trouble making power past 48-4900.
I now have a rear mount tc-78 @ 7lbs.
Heres a dyno sheet, let me know what you guys think is going on.

Valve lash is 1/2 turn past zero lash. that's what i am thinking also, i had the springs checked and they are still good (specs close to when they were new) but possibly need shimmed for more seat pressure.

When you have trouble like this on the dyno, ask them for a graph with no smoothing. It is helpful to see what it is doing, but sae 5 will even out some of it.

Pretty much already been said but, either valve float, or ignition. When I had plug gaps too bit or not enough spark it would flat out misfire and buck/spit. You could see spikes up and down in the graph. Yours looks like it just hits a wall. What springs are on there? Remember you need more spring than normal because of boost.

Yeah the un-smoothed one looks like hell, i can get one from them if need be but its just like this one, just more jagged. i have the Patriot Golds (135 closed/375 open) and on advice form bret i am shimming them to 1.7 and seeing what happens
