Default Vindicator vs 02 cam comparison
Finally got around to putting this together. Enjoy.

Only changes were the cam, tune, and 42lb inj. Same dyno for both.

Looks like you lost a lot of torque down low with that big camshaft

440 cam only! Sweet. That might be a record.

Actually the number in the pic below is old.

This is still using the ls6 intake.

I did not have to flycut. Hell, I didn't even check.

If you add a good ported 90 mm Fast and ported 90 mm TB you should add 20 rwhp. That would be a sick car. 460 rwhp cam only. I don't know about that one, but I guess anything is possible with the right combo and great tuning.

That is just silly. I was doubting the numbers before, but time and time again they are doing it. Craziness. What lobe is that cam on?

Which cam? That's almost hard to believe with a LS6 intake. I assume 3.42 geared 10 bolt.
