The cam is too big or not right for that setup. Just because it is a huge cam doesnt mean itll make huge power.

It also depends on what the tuner set the afr to. That setup should like 12:7 to 12:4 ideally. But you have to change the timing first as any jump of a few degrees will change the afr significantly. That one should ramp in from 23-27 or 28 max. It could take more than that but not sure I would run it on the street with the variance in fuel quality.

Those 4.10 gears are going to rob some power, too, on a dyno.

Not as much as you would think. If you had a better spec'd cam you would see an increase no matter what. Proper cam > donkey dick

450rwhp is not bad for a big stall and 9" high gears. 408s don't make that much more power than 364s, just a lot more torque.

I think you are way wrong on that one. My friend has one making 525 horse to the wheels. Lets see a 6.0 do that.

Yah, why waste time just to try to prove me wrong? All those cams are way larger than his. And AFR heads to stock castings are no comparison either as well as the PRC new castings. Also the "cam only" ls2 wasn't cam only and had a fast 102 etc etc. And to make a 347 do that, you sure cannot drive in a parking lot. I can point out all the differences, but instead of asking me his combo you just want to prove me wrong first off.

Any questions now?

Well there is always some a hole that comes along to try to prove you wrong. Apples to Microsoft I say.

I like torque in general, so keep the CR high, Have a good amount of timing, and keep the cam correct. You will be happier with a few less peak HP but higher overall avg tq.
