Well let me put it this way....

I have a 2002
M6
12 Bolt
3" steel DS
SLP lid
Dynatech headers w/ their CATS and to a Corsa CAT back
VRx4 cam 228/230 @ 112
Stock heads
Ported FAST 90/90 by vengance.

Made 384 RWHP @ 6,200 and 363 RWTQ @ 4,700 BUT started flat @ 3,900

I think that is kinda low for me and thats a smaller cam but does have a dyno tune from one of the best shops in the NE that used to hold the LSX Nitrous Record.... so they know their shiz.

Your cam I think needs a compression bump, mines a little smaller but it would not hurt either. I have searched the dyno section for vrx4 dynos and have seen 405-410.... so it can happen.

Not to shabby for just having a mail order tune

Take it in and have it dyno-tuned and should be over 400rwhp. Maybe even add a pulley to reach your 410 mark you want.

Nonetheless, good numbers for just the cam. Do you have stock gears?
