Default Picked up 35 rwhp w/the T-ReX over the C2 cam!

Highest dyno on the C2 cam was 363 rwhp, highest dyno on the T-ReX 398. Only changes that were made was, cam of course, Patriot Gold dual spring kit, Rollmaster double roller timing chain set, Thunder Racing ported & blue printed oil pump, Katech rod bolts, and SVO 30 lb. injectors. I'm pretty impressed. From the stock cam to the C2 I picked up 52 rwhp. Man...what cams can do for these cars. Now its time to step up to a 90mm intake and throttle body.

By the way, this is on stock heads, LS6 intake, through a fully built 200-R4, Yank PT4400, Strange 12 bolt w/4.10 gear, slicks, and unlocked.

Its the 241s. I have a '00. I dont think I'll be running 10.30s anytime soon. Gotta drop a little more weight, dial the car in with the new setup, and wait till winter for the cool air to roll around again.

Got a graph? I'd really like to see the shape of the curves.

erodrig2, I dont have a/c anymore, so I cant speak for it. Before the tune, it was hard for it to catch idle, but its not so bad now. I have a loose converter and a 4.10 gear, so its not too bad. I dont drive it on the street much anyway. Every one has their own opinion as to whats loose though. If you plan on keeping this a daily driver, its not something I would really recommend because its gonna kill your gas mileage.

P Mack, I can take a pic of it here in a minute and post it.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.
