Absolutely agree with te tuning methods. Last time I got my car tuned from another shop somewhere in central NC.... I picked up the car and went maybe 3 miles and turned right around. The car was sluggish had no power just plane drove like crap. I asked if they drove the car and there reply was yes. so i asked how far, and got no reaponse. beat guess is yhey drove in the parking lot. I will never go back there.
It seems like everybody has there own opinions on what is what, but like Martin said, this is what I wanted and yes he did try and get me into a different cam, but my car is not a daily driver. And I ran 1600 rpm today withou lt surging. I'm happy with it

every time Jonathan tweeked on my tune it drove better and the rpm at which it would surge dropped ... great daily driveabilty from a big cam and i can chug around town at around 1600-1800 comfortably

Your car went from being an average stroker H/C/I car before you brought it to us, to afterwards making over 520rwhp with a set of CNC 243 heads!!! That's seriously bad ***! Now, your cam and heads really were the reason it made so much power, but it just needed a little coaxing to get all of the ponies possible out of the set-up.

Ron,
That is the only way to truly get it right, we try to spend as much time as we can with the time frame we're allotted. Tuning just isn't for everyone though and it really is an art form as I'm sure you well know doing your own tuning.

this is just FYI. I been reading this thread as I am almost ready for a cam only install. Many 2000 models the later builds had 241 heads as does my 2000. So the 241 started late 2000 not 2001 just to clear that one for some people who have 2000 cars and dont know

It really does the best of both. It would wake right up on the juice.
The main reason I changed the design was for valve train stability. Some had valve train issues with the xer lobes it was ground on. It was also extremely peaky due to its 53 intake valve close event from the 242 duration intake lobe and the cam having no advance. As you can see the torque and under the curve gains are very impressive. I will overlay the before and after graphs tomorrow. Search any of the old cam only threads or go to our website and compare under the curve power. Smaller intake lobe, earlier ivc event still makes more peak power.
Do you have an comments on street driveability of the polluter v1 vs the v2?
