Post ASA Cam Dyno #'s

I just recently had my car dynotuned by Mike Norris in Pompano.
Here is the dyno graph. Red curve was after a couple of tweaks i believe, and not a baseline. Blue curve was final output. Hope this sheds some light on what people might get with this cam. Originally had my car dynoed with just my headers, ory, and gmmg exhaust and was at 320 at the wheels. btw, i still have stock 806 heads. Mods in sig.

Ya, they are pretty low, even for ASA cam numbers. Hell, they are lower than average hotcam numbers. I figure there are a few gremlins I have to eradicate before I can get better numbers

Almost 40rwhp with a low lift cam is pretty good. And you have a nice power curve. Your car actually dynoed pretty low before the cam to begin with.

I will keep an open mind about other nice cams out there. The low lift is what appealed to me with this cam for now.

What I am saying about low hp is that I only gained 40 hp from all of my mods in sig + tune by norris. I know there are cams that make more power, but the problem is probably not the cam for me, but something else mechanical.

ps. I have always like the F13 maybe I will get that if this thing doesn't make me happy.

226/236, .525/.525, 110lsa

Something's definitely not right w/bomb3r13's car. He dynoed pretty low with full exhaust, and with his supporting mods I think he should be close to 390/390. I've seen 3 other dyno sheets with the ASA cam have all been ~370/370 corrected(m6 cars), and all 3 still had the ls1 intake and no underdrive pulley. I haven't dynoed mine yet (waiting for ls6 intake), but I'll post up when I do.

Most of the new "big cams" don't seem to have a better power curve. Peak HP is not everything, and alot of people don't understand why some want a lower lift cam.

I agree, but I don't think the problem is the cam. When my car still had the A4, and no other mods besides a lid, I only made 10rwhp less than he did with an M6 and long tube headers. Maybe it's just the dyno.

I know they are pretty low, I just have to startgoing through the problems one at a time and try to regain lost power. I got the 320whp and 358whp in two seperate dynos, so unless they were both bad dynojets, then I assume it is something wrong with my car. I am pretty sure the cam can make good power. The torque is pretty good already, I just honestly think I might just need a good set of headers. there is a dynojet installed a mile away in may, so when that is up and running I will be going there all the time updating on what has worked or not, but for now I am happy that it seems like is in good shape. Honestly it feels like I gained a lot. I will also post 1/8 numbers next week when i take it to a race here.

That will be the true test that tells you if you actually are missing some power. A dyno pull just cannot be compared to track times.....assuming you can drive! Good luck man!

look at his mods tho, mac mids, and 17x11 chromse wheels, those are # killers right there, then again i thought it was an auto dyno, hell thats what im expecting from my hotcam/mac mid once it gets on, but what really matters if its faster right?

Do you guys think spark plugs might have something to do with it? I just changed my spark plugs yesterday. they all pretty much had some black on them, and I did not change them out for the dynotune. I have had them on for a good 30k miles(acdelcos). I dont even know if they are the right plugs since they were changed right before I got the car. Anyways, i have tr55s and new wires on now. seems a little smoother everywhere in the powerband.

your missing at least 30-40 HP with that cam maybe time to find a new tuner your torque numbers look about right but you are definitely down on HP, I'm at 388 RWHP with a hotcam, if you wanna sel that cam let me know !

I don't think it is the tuner. Was tuned by a very respectable guy, Mike Norris. I trust his tune very well, and although it can probably be made better with more time, is probably as close as it can be with the good amount of time he spent on it.
