Default Question about my Cam only numbers

Okay, this is a bit wierd but I need some honest opinions. It seems that several individuals on this site think that my dyno numbers are not very impressive so I want to poll everyone. My mods are below. When I first installed everything I put down 396 rwhp and 378rwtq through a 10 bolt w/ 3.42 and full exhaust. My A/F was high and it ranged from 13.8 to 13.4. I had someone help me tune it using the 02 sensor to keep it safe. After, I had a 12 bolt w/ 4.11 installed we went down to Midnight Performance and tuned it on a dyno. My first pull showed that I was making 396 rwhp and 363 rwtq. The 12 bolt robbed some power. The A/F was around 13.3 so we tuned it and got it down to 12.8. The final safe numbers are seen below.

I figured with a 10 bolt and tuning I would have gained 13 rwtq that I gained from the final tune which would have put me at 391 rwtq (378+13). The Hp is a mystery but I assume I lost 10 rwhp to be conservative. (396+10) would have been 406 rwhp at 6200rpms. I did the conversion so that we could compare apples with apples. 10bolt Numbers would have been 406 RWHP and 391RWTQ which I think is kick *** for a 220/220 cam. What do you guys think? Is anyone making more power with this small of a cam with similar mods?

I dyno through full exhaust, with 17 in SS wheels, regular belt, and an istalled TSP lid. In other words, NO DYNO TRICKS
Thanks for your time!

i think those are great #'s with a cam only setup and such a small cam to boot...if anyone says different they are smoking something.

seeing how some peoples h/c setups dont even put that much down i dont see how anyone can aruge your numbers are low. i think your one of the few that shows how a small custom cam can work.

This cam uses a different intake lobe than the TR and its on a different lsa, centerline which ultimately means different valve events. I will email you my first dyno its the only one scanned into my cpu. My wife was organizing things for the new baby and found a new home for most of my stuff which means she has no f-ing clue where she put it.

Do you mind posting the complete specs (cam card maybe?) for the cam? I'm very interested in small cams like that, and I'm trying to disprove a lot of 'trex rules!' sort of friends.

I really can't because I promise Shawn I wouldn't. He goes by 93PONY but hasn't been around lately. He designed and installed the cam for me. Look him up and email him. He's a nice guy and he will help you out. Later!
