JPH.....I have read many of your posts and respect your knowledge as one of the more experienced cam guys on this site but that just seems a little low to me. I mean my similar cam (sig) was still carrying almost flat at 6500 and making 410 or so. Does the 5* of advance bring peak down that far????

Educate me here

Thanks. And yes, combined with other components. The intake valve here is closing at roughly 41*, that will inchange have a sooner/earlier peak. The cam actually checked in at a 106ICL or 8* IVO with a certain rocker we were using. It is a A4 car with 243s, a 3800 stall with a ported FAST 78. Shoot me you e mail address and I can send you a copy if you would like.
