Texas Speed "Magic Stick" Camshaft Goes 400 RWHP with Stock Heads in A4! We just finished dynoing our latest revision of our Magic Stick camshaft. This revision will clear stock cylinder heads! No longer will you have to worry with cutting valve reliefs if you want to run the Magic Stickv.3 ("MS3") camshaft. The test car is a 2001 Z28 with an unlocked TCI Competition 4400 stall torque converter, PaceSetter coated LT headers, TSP Rumbler X true duals, factory LS6 intake, factory water pump, both belts in place, and ASP crank pulley. The car was running our 225/225, .589"/.589", 112 LSA camshaft and was consistently making 362 RWHP through the unlocked TCI torque converter. After the swap to the TSP MS3, it put down 402.4 RWHP! 
This is with 100% stock cylinder heads. The heads have never been off of the engine. That's a 40 RWHP gain over the 225/225 camshaft! If you're wondering what it will do in a six-speed-equipped car with stock cylinder heads, you'll have to wait another week. We'll have dyno results next weekend from a customer that's out-of-state.
FYI, the RPM reading of the graph is off 500 RPM due to the high stall speed of the torque converter. The pull was actually up to 6800 RPM. We did NOT make a pull to 7300 RPM.
The specs on the TSP MS3 are 237/242, .603"/.609", 113 LSA. With the right setup, (i.e. stall speed and/or gearing), the car can make some IMPRESSIVE passes at the track. Ten-second timeslips in the 1/4-mile with stock cylinder heads are certainly doable with the proper setup. Just wait and we'll show you.
One of the best things about this camshaft is that you can have the best horsepower numbers with better piston-to-valve clearance than other large cams currently offered. 
We have two more test cars to try the cam in to check consistency, and then they will be ready to ship!
Feel free to call or e-mail us if you have any questions. We'll be glad to help you out.

Would I be able to run this Cam with Random tech cats (#703000 metal matallic) w/LT headers? I could care less if it passes emissions. Also , would I be able to get away with a 3500 stall w/373 gears?

If the graph is really off by 500 RPM then why does horsepower & torque still cross at 5250 just as it should?
Also, what is the efficiency of that convertor? Assuming its very efficient at 97%, then basically we can expect a locked convertor to show ~ 415 RWHP through an A4 I assume? Thats very impressive....
As far as RPMs go, I would be more concerned about the tranny then the motor.

big numbers! I will definately keep this in mind.. but I want to see 3-4 cars back to back dyno at those numbers..
there are flukes out there that just dyno really high.. Plus... how is the dynojet he/she dynoed on.. How high above everyone else does it read. Some read 10 horse over the next.
I am not trying to bash.. Even though it sounds like it.. i am just trying to think of the obvious power gains from outside factors.

My M6 with stock heads,running rich, and -2 degrees of timing did 414 with the MS3. My limiter is also at 6800.
Ya'll forget about me already Trevor?!?!? lol, j/k man

Check out my comp. vid in my sig, it shows it at idle, with a cutout in the i-pipe. Also a few runs with and without the spray.
But the info is a little old, since the vid I sprayed the 200 shot and put down 602rwhp.
