Like I've said many times! You can't just throw a t-rex in the car and expect 430+ rwhp. It's a great cam, but it's not the end all be all.

I agree, I know people who expected much more out of the cam but didnt quite achieve it. I think to get results you need to match everything up, i.e. cam, intake, exhaust, tb's, pulleys etc.

Did you shim your valve springs? That cam requires a lot of spring control. I think the recommendation is to shim them to .050 from coil bind, about 1.740.install height.
What kind of timing are you running? I think that it should be 29 to 30.
Need a extremely free flowing exhaust.
The power is there you just need to dial it all in.

very true plus in the end its all bout having fun. As most folks say just take it to track and let ur trap mph instead of the dyno speak for the cam.

This guy is getting really annoying. I don't know who told you this is the "end all be all cam" but I think we are all aware of that. And based on others on here who have had great success with this cam, we also know you are not going to make 450rwhp just by throwing this thing in. Everything needs to match along with a good tune. But once everything is in place, it is the ultimate box or shelf cam. Just look at the fastest cam only list.
