About a month ago I decided to pull my motor out of my car and do a freshen up job, and also decided to put stock heads back on the car and change the camshaft. I decided to go with one of our FMS F2 camshafts. I chose this particular cam because some customers asked and I wanted to prove that you don't have to go with an oversized camshaft to make good STREETABLE power. Well the numbers turned out to be 401.45rwhp/408.93rwtq(graph below).

Here is the run down of the parts used:

-FMS forged 346 shortblock (diamond pistons/lunati rods/stock crankshaft)
-Pacesetter Longtube Headers
-Mufflex Y-Pipe with 4" collector
-Hooker Catback
-LS6 Intake Manifold
-FMS Ported Throttle Body
-ASP Underdrive Pulley
-FMS F2 Camshaft (224/224/112LSA)
-Manley Valve Springs and Ti Retainers
-Stock 241 heads milled for 11.4:1 Compression---(fresh valve job)
-FMS Custom Tune

Too bad I can't claim the uncorrected numbers(Good weather yesterday):

Awesome numbers John. I like how you posted both graphs. That weather was some great these past few days.

this is to be expected. there are a ton of 224 cam only cars making 390+ whp - the addition of OVER 1 point in compression should easily bump them over 400 rwhp. not to mention their use of a gm stock shortblock. i don't know that your forged internals add much hp, but do they probably weigh less than the stock pieces?

Damn that's a nice torque curve! I agree that the compression definitely helps a LOT and who knows if the forged moving parts helped or not but this much out of a 224 is great. This is most likely what I'll be going with someday since I want it to drive like stock.

I am particularly impressed by the torque number...great job.

Nice #s John! Very impressive! I'm glad we were finally able to get it on the dyno after having this setup up and running for almost 6 months!

I also found it interesting that the peak power was around 5500 rpm. You are also making a ton of power below that number. Very impressive.

Hmmm. Why didn't you go with the F14 highlift?

the compression and rebuilt engine certainly doesn't hurt

My bad, didn't see the head work part.

360 rwt @ 3000 must be fun!

Sure you can claim the uncorrected numbers, people do it all the time!!

Nice results man!!

Thanks for all of your help with this. Lunch is definitely on me next week!!!!!

I milled the heads .030 to get the compression I wanted.

Don't worry that will most likely be the next cam that will be in the car. I just wanted to try this first and then step up the camshaft. I will have that one and a few more in the upcoming months with a few new cams we are coming up with. This setup is so much fun to drive on the street with though.
