The intake runners were ported, not the TB inlet. It has an under drive pulley but no EWP. CR is 11:1. The TFS heads with this new cam profile is killer combination.

Yeah, I'm interested in duplicating this and if the heads aren't box stock what needs to be done to them to replicate this.
This is like the third or fourth different shop that has recently posted 490-505 hp with ~450 ft/lbs of torque from the TFS heads and cam combos.
I already have a Vengeance ported FAST, UD pulley, QTP longtubes with ORY so I figure i'm a head/cam swap away from nice numbers.

I know that ud pullys and ewp's don't really "ADD" power, they just free up power that is lost due to parasitic drag. I did like the improvement I saw on gas mileage from the pully and ewp. The motor seemed to wind up much quicker as well.
As far as your 11:1 compression, would there be any advantage to running higher compression ?? If not why ??
sorry, lots of q's for ya.

I considered that, but I was wondering if they could have milled further, or run a thinner gasket to boost compression. I thought maybe they had set out hoping to make 500 rwhp and if they didn't hit the target then maybe they held back a bit knowing it could do more. Sorry if it reads like a rambler.

I've personally never seen an EWP show any gains on the dyno however, they run cooler temps at the track so that is worth something on some engines. I could have actually run a thinner head gasket but the cost of Cometic gaskets and studs would have put the customer over budget. May next time 
I don't think 510-515 is out of the question with this combo and close to 12:1 SCR.

Nice to know that these were out of the box heads. I have studs already, and wouldn't mind dropping extra coin on a thinner head gasket, something in the 0.045" range to bump compression but at the same time cut down the quench distance which is good for fighting detonation.
Mikey, is this cam something anyone can buy from you, or is it an installed only cam?
