Default What can I expect with this cam?

I've bought a C5 that dyno'd 400rwhp and it has this cam:

230/224 .591/.581 on a 114

What kind of powerband/driveability will I be looking at?

It has longtubes, head work with stock sized valves.

Good N20 cam?

Thanks

It should have good power and driveability if it has a good tune, but it won't be as smooth as stock below 2000 rpm no mater what you do. It's a worthy trade off though.

Thanks for the info.

So the power numbers they quote are believable?

He did say it was an upper end cam and thats fine. He also said the tune came out very good with it. It will sometimes surge on start up but after that its fine.
