Strange Dyno results from FMS FM-8 cam Had my car dynoed and tuned for the first time at ARE last week. I'm a little concerned about the results i got. It made 375hp@5700rpm and 374.4 torque@4800rpm. Whats concerning me is the fact that it peaked so low and on the graph the line gets kind of jumpy around 6K. Wade at ARE thought that cam should peak around 6400 i was thinking 6200. I'm not dissapointed with the power now i'm starting to think theres somthing wrong with my motor.
Here's a little info on my setup: All bolt-ons, SLP headers w/ory and SLP 20TL, Stock heads w/rev dual springs, 7.400 pushrods, stock short block. Specs on the cam are 225/233 .585/.585 114LSA
One idea I have is that i'm ruinning to much lifter pre-load, back when I was running my Hotcam I shaved .015 off my rocker stands to get rid of some of the valvetrain noise. When I installed this cam I checked the base circle of both cams but I lost the paper I wrote it on.
What do you guys think? Also I have the dyno graph if somone could host it for me.
TIA
Jim
