Seems like TRex numbers are more like 410-420rwhp. Still impressive, but not what was advertised at first.

Yep ...
I am personally hoping for 410rw ... anything above that and I will be very happy. Then again not everything is about peak power, and I am eagar to compare this graph to the ones of my last 2 cams, and to check out the power gained at different RPMs.

I don't mean to be rude but those numbers are not good especially for an 02 model. Where is the torque?

220/220 114 and a 224/224 112

Unforunately, they were dyno'd at 2 different places, so I don't know if I can get it overlayed. I don't have a scanner either, so I have no clue how I could get it on here .... I will however, do maybe a comparision at every 500 rpms so you guys can get the basic idea of how the curve looks, etc.

Who cares about the numbers. I am cam only, down 25 rwhp on my buddies h/c car and I'm beating him.

Dyno is a tool not a accurate report. Take it to the track.

Just in case you wanted to know so there's no hidden info, my torque was 28 lower than his, before the 12 bolt.

BacarooZ28: so you are still running the stock y-pipe and catback?? Can you post the graph? Do you plan to take it to the track soon? If so please let us know the results.
I would have to agree with what "Joe DIESO" said.

That Cam is very impressive from what I've seen.I tuned DIESO's car and it is tuned to the tilt and topped at 400hp.Very impressive for a Cam only..The torque #'s are good but a set of heads would make a big improvement in them.

True but when similar cars are making 30+ more torque and hp then him, something just isn't right.

for a cam that big going through a 10 bolt I expected a bit more? How experienced is this guy with tuning? What timing are you running?

Are you talking about my guys Verbs ? He tunes very well, have a good rep through the New England area plus a few other states. I made 402 rwhp through my 10 bolt with 3.42's.

Dyno's from different areas are NOT the same. I have seen my buddies h/c car run faster than people with 20 rwhp more. Dyno's from area to area are different. I like to gauge the power difference in different parts of the country by track results. For example, an automatic car in your area with the same setup as a automatic car in my area. Compare their track times, both may have the same exact car, run the same exact number @ the track but have dyno numbers anywhere from 10-30 rwhp off.

Everyone compares the dyno #'s but doesnt pay mind to the track results. My dyno I feel is conservative, there is no fluff. I have seen 360 rwhp cars run 12.00's with a not so quick shifter and a stock clutch.
