They probably mean that it'll run decent once installed, like long tubes do, even though a tuned is preferred. Those cams also has a high lsa like the stock camshaft does, 118, most aftermarket cams will be slightly lower then that.

yes i have seen this, it is basically a baby cam, the hp advertised was to the flywheel, not rwhp, and they tested those numbers on a ls6 engine, not an ls1

435 fwhp = what? 400 rwhp. (still bs with that baby cam)
CAM ONLY! 400 rwhp with that "baby cam" is still BS! Especially w/o tuning!

I think what he was getting at is that the LS6 was rated at 405 to begin with. So it's a little more believable to pick up 30 hp instead of 80 to 100 with a LS1. But either way, not very likely to be sustainable. It is after all Edelbrock and they have a little bit of a reputation to uphold, so they must've done a little testing first.
