expect more like -375-385 hp. I thought that cam would do 400 too, but everyone except for about 2 people have put down numbers in the ranger i listed.

you should be close. i know there are a few that hit 390 with a 224 cam on stock heads, so i would figure if the tuner is really good, you should be close. get it installed and let us know how it does.

TSP says it should yield 40-45 rwhp, and I have 350 now so I better get at least 390 or I will be dissapointed. It's already here just have to throw it in and I will post up. Anyone have a dyno graph of this cam???

Can't wait for the results! Does this cam come standard with any advance ground in? +2, etc? Good luck and don't forget the graph!

this is very true.

however, it usually takes a stick car more rwhp to compete with a stalled automatic at the track.

i'll be sub 12.5 with ~300 rwhp i LOVE big stalled autos!!

they are 112 +2. mine made 383 rwhp through the hooker catback and no ud pulley so with all the mods,ls6 intake included,390 should be no problem. also some dynos are more stengy than others, i ran 92-94 mph in the 1/8th.

I saw 419/398, but that was with PP heads. I never had it cam only. The cam is great and pulls awsome. It's a great cam to DD in and then go to the track with it. My car also has a LS6 intake and most bolt-on's. 6 speed also. I guess that also means about 40hp from the heads too by goin on what other's have posted on with cam only.

With your power and your track times, you're not very impressive.
