I would think you shoud have got higher numbers...more like 390 or so, but maybe you got a tough dyno or something? Your trap speed will tell ya what kind of power it's actually making too.

I don't know, 40hp out of cam only doesn't sound too bad. Most guys seem to see a little more though.... What were the conditions like on your dyno run? 100 degrees w/ matching humidity could do bad things to big numbers.

And I thought my numbers were kinda low, but I guess just the people who dyno high post up their numbers. I put down 376/376 with the mods in sig minus the intake and in high 90 degree weather. The numbers your car put down do seem kinda low for the cam you have. Maybe it is the lack of the other bolt-ons (pulley, throttle body, and the cats will restrict your exhaust a little).I got my ASP from Thunder Racing for about $210. Also, you're using 918's with a cam that has .601 lift?
