Who'd you talk to over there so I know to avoid 'em.
Did LC tell you that they often have troubles with factory EFI and their stroker motors?
There's *no* way that motor will hit 200hp naturally aspirated and on factory EFI. The stock injectors won't come close to supporting it, even if the motor was capable... Makes the rest of what they're saying suspect!
Now that I'm done flaming the LC sales drone... I hope he was a sales drone...
That motor can put down great power.. and even running poorly, there's simply no reason why it shouldn't hit 70.
If it was assembled as a longblock, the FIRST place i'd start is checking your distributor setup.
The cam has to have a dowl on it.. you may have to carefully back off the bolt that holds on the cam if you can't see it.
If you know 4strokes you can figure it out by timing marks and valve position.. Guys have gone over this in previous posts.
My first bet would be that your timing is way off.. As you're able to bring the timing into a normal range, that's probably not it, so you need to start with the basics.
Adjust your TPS, set your idle then move forward.
Once you get it to idle OK, verify that timing goes up as you rev it.. Say check it at 2k RPM.. Should be in the 20-30 range (estimated off the top of my head).
If it's being timed right, then pay attention to your mixture gauge. I assume it's a narrowband?
That "pro tuning" deal is a variable resistor that tricks the computer into thinking the engine is cold, which adds fuel....
Hope your mechanic is good with the 22re... You spent some bucks on that thing.
Did it ever run well, you mentioned it had a few miles on it?
