here is my dyno graph....high dyno was with the cutout open, the other is with it closed...
i lost 10.35hp/3.72tq

And thats what i'm talking about my buddy's with a cutout gain 8rwhp & 3rwtq so it's worthy

Thanks for the graph though .

I am pretty sure i can get the hp up more but the tq has me concerned???? Don't know what to do to get it up higher. I would say it's the c/r. But not sure. Maybe advancing the cam??? Any suggestions??

process of elimination...
start with the easy stuff first.
Get a cutout and re dyno to see what you gain,
and if your still not happy with it...
spray it!
your numbers are not bad at all considering the rear end ya got.

playing with the timing you can find some extra power. my afr was dead on last night, but by playing with timing we got another 15 rwhp out of it

Why did you swap your heads, only to take a 16/29 rwhp/tq hit? I don't think I'd blame the heads for all of the hp drop (heavy rear and less than optimized exhaust), but the 29 ft. lb. drop in torque doesn't bode well for the heads. Did you drop compression?

Its not the heads or the cam....Actually AFR 205's and these budget TSP heads make VERY similar numbers.

I am pretty sure Mikey set the timing where it needs to be. He seems to think the cam needs to be advanced. Also i didnt swap my old setup out looking for more power. My old motor was taking a **** on me so i sold the old setup. That was 2 years ago. I also beleive that this 9 inch rear is definately hurting the tq #'s. But they are still too low. Will be trying a few things and see what happens. I would like to see the tq around 400.

haha definately call bs on that one...

all the higher dyno cars never want to post graphs, i have out of the box 205's and a very mild cam, a lot smaller than this one, and make almost 50 ftlbs more, reguardless, every TSP cammed car i have seen is weak esp with the torque numbers and dont even get me started on their heads, first hand experience tells a totally different story then people posting high numbers and not backing it up with info. i live in the REAL world, along with everyone else

I am going to have to back this one up too. I was looking at the MS3 cam, but I was put off by the low tq numbers people saw from it. I went with the TRak cam which is smaller than the MS3, and made 408/388 without a ported tb, pulley, and decent flowing exhaust. The tb got ported today, and the pulley will be ordered Monday. I "should" be in the range of 415-420 and probably in the 390's with tq. You won't see many, if any MS3's pulling those types of numbers.

My old tsp 231/237 cam made 396 on the tq side. But it was a totally diferent setup. I never was crazy about the 113 icl on this cam. I have always had a 112+4 icl. I would assume that would effect the tq on the ms3. I will say my old f14 cam with stock heads pulled alot harder than this setup. But thats just sotp.

The way the MS3 is ground, it'd actually make a good cam for a strong 402.

I think I am going with the FAST 90/90 before I do heads, and see what kind of numbers I can get out of my TRak. 43x/40x isn't out of the picture. With heads, who knows!

unless u throw crazy compresson and a good head on the car with a TSP cam it wont make squat for torque. (in reality we arent here to rip you just to give you and others real reasons for the low numbers as they are not unusual with your head/cam setup)

what is the compression at BTW?

So you went with weaker heads and a bigger cam. Why did you do that. I would put your old AS heads back on. Hello h.p. and tq.

yeah, between that and the heads, thats where the power is, those cams wont make decent power and torque until you get the compression into the 11's with my setup, smaller cam, ls6 intake and smaller tb than you i made 411 ft lbs on 10:1 CR, are you really worried about making power or will this suffice? lol
