That is VERY impressive bro., although when I look at your cam Its no wonder I would LOVE to hear that moter sing! I just put a baby cam in mine,....(228/232.......112 ) cause I do a lot of "long rider".....(old school) and STILL I was amazed with what I wound up with Ive got just a "little" over 400 r.w.h.p. and when I want to she literally jumps up and screems.

How many rpms are you spinning her out to ?? Seems like you should make a little more power considering you have 415 ci's. You have good heads, cam, and a free flowing exhaust. The pro series would have yielded a couple more but thats' trivial. The street series headers are good too. Seems like you should make power all the way to almost 7 grand.

Good numbers though, and have fun with all that torque.

I could probably take her to 7000 rpms. However, my horsepower starts leveling off at about 6500 rpms. my torque peaks at 5000 rpms. so I'll just go up to 6400 or 6500.

Thanks Bro.

No problem, I would love to see that car in action. I'll bet those 315 DR's grip and go.

Congrats...those are very impressive numbers. I'm still on the fence for a FAST 90 set up. Every time I'm ready to order, my tuner tells me the improvement will be vey little due to a small cam (224/581 112LSA) and not worth the expense for parts, labor and tuning. They claim only about a 8-10 rwhp/rwtq gain with a ported FAST 90 and ported LS 90 tb. I thinking about going with a more aggressive cam and lighter springs. I want to get to 475rwhp/450rwtq

David and Jayson at MTI are going to discuss having a custom grind done with a Comp cam...and David mentioned some different springs (lighter?)I'll follow up with 'em on Monday for their recommendation. IMO...it's not worth the hassle if there will only be a 8-10rwhp/rwtq gain.

Your lift could be increased a bit, and your duration increased more and you will have the power you are looking for. The bigger the cam you go, the more often you will be changing out your valve springs. Big cams do have their draw backs.

i am assuming you have heads on your ride, if so i definitely see an improvement with a fast 90, because it doesnt matter how big the cam is really, the heads flow what they flow, and your hindering them with ls6 manifold
