Good power....shame the graph didn't continue.

if your car has the right mods around this power plant you should see upper 11x for traps. Even near 120.

here is the link for that idle video. Does it sound like a small cam? I had a thunder racing 224/224 in my old camaro and it sounded sweet. Much more cam than this idle video. But what do you think.

Forget what it SOUNDS like. How does it RUN???? If this cam runs better than the last one, who cares what it sounds like? Anyone buying a cam strictly for sound has priorities in the wrong places. It might sound TOTALLY BITCHIN'! But how does it RUN??

I think he is more wondering if it is the stock cam or something different

it sounds stockish, but who's to say a very mild cam was installed. next step is taking it to the track for some ET and MPH trap speeds!

I have to agree. It sounds like it's idling higher than normal, so it is a bit hard to tell. At that speed, it does sound fairly stock.

true, a slightly higher than stock idle can mask the choppiness. if it's stock cam, idle in park ought to be under either 550 or 750 RPMs. I cant recall which was whether it was in park or drive lol. I don't have my laptop in front of me.

Yea it is idling right at 750. I’m definitely going to the track soon. Need to find an open night at the track.

If it doesn’t have a cam which to me doesn’t seem to have one, it’s putting down healthy numbers. Makes me wonder what a good set of heads and good cam would do. I was think of a MS4

Adjust the idle down to about 550-600 and see if any lope shows up
