I have the same camshaft coming in from them only with the 226 heads to match. I'm happy with how you said the car drives and everything you said, I can't wait for this set up.

If you get bored with it shoot me a call. I've got a great Cam for that motor that when tuned right drives very well and makes sick power. Just did one in a A4 05 GTO. Cam only with headers made 430hp/400tq through an unlocked 3600 stalled tranny. Easy 450/460rwhp through a M6 car on my dyno (480-490 hp on Dez's)
Without getting into this whole thing about cams and lobes... why would someone scream "SICK POWER!" and then 2 posts later declare that the dyno is just a tool?

lol
heres a video of the car from 0-120....regardless of what it rolled im pleased with how fast the car actually is for a 4000lb car.....

Indeed. There are dozens of cam grinders out there, and a great many have a handful of lobes I think are an ideal compromise between their relative aggressiveness and the time area they provide. Sometimes they can provide a cam, other times I mix and match lobes between vendors, and other times I alter an existing design to taste & come up with something new.
Mac is referring to our cam page, which roughly outlines my POV: http://www.advancedinduction.com/LSX...BilletCams.php
I can only surmise that the marketing theory that one is born every minute works for you. How about a real cam comparison - eliminating the multitude of variables that an actual vehicle adds to the equation. I am happy to overlay actual data from whatever lobes you think are appropriate with Mike's current grind should you care to be measured up.
Mikes car did fine for the size Cam used. Didn't say it was crap. Was pointing towards IF he has mastered the tuning part the much bigger Cam I offer could work better. Not comparable in size. Didn't even mention that it was.
Ahh, another characteristic of the predatory vendor - I believe we're establishing a trend. "I own the brand of dyno that is known to put out the most consistent results... but mine just happens to be "tight" and other shop's DJ's are "loose.""
Just pointed out the facts. Since I use to work there. Not a dig at all about it.
Almost 14,000 posts, no data to support your assertion, and desperate attempts to catch the coattails flying past you like we're enjoying here? Perhaps they're born more frequently than on the minute.
Guys like you are what prompted that cam page I linked above. I thought the flow # games were bad, but little did I know that selling a camshaft these days has become more an exercise in theater than quantitative analysis.
In the 14000 posts there is a ton of graphs. just look back many years when I thought I had to prove something like you guy's are now. We've tuned many of your cams,heads ect. They work good, never said they didn't. Do you have to get your *** hurt about it?
Most any cam in that size range is going to make mid 4XX's with the 226cc head on a stock short block. The difference is going to be in RPM headroom, component longevity, etc.

For some reason it thought I was knocking AI. Not at all, just know how the OP and crew change there setup's more than there underware. Was throwing out options for future.

I raced a cammed CTS-V that you built and tuned, it made 410whp at your dyno and I walked him good with my GTO that made 360whp at East Side in Walingford... Just sayin. I have a video if anyone cares.

Myself and the OP know all about #'s and dyno's. We both race alot at the track. The Sick Power power curve WILL go faster at the track if the curve is right. Get it?

Had a usedC5R block, not the heads,used heads ect.. Don't worry we still remember when that C5R blocked,93 octain,A4, 3750lb car was knocking out lower numbers than that solid roller LTX was.
It's a single being built for some X275 racing.
What happened to run what you brung?
