Well I must be the only one around here that likes to talk in a technical section of a free message board and expect to get peoples' opinion for free. How stupid of me. If you don't want to divulge anything or have any constructive criticism then just stay the hell out. Based on your attitude I wouldn't sit and listen to you even if you paid ME. I will agree with one thing you said - this has become a train wreck. OP - I still think you achieved great results.
Anyone who really wants to know what I think just pays me for it. That's a pretty simple concept that capitalisim was based on.

that being said,i'm not knocking the OP's #s at all..i bet that thing is a blast to drive!that's an impressive powerband..for a street car that's what you want,and it'll be quicker than a lot of guys running bigger cams..

I don't know what Cartek does with their heads, but would the heads being milled ~.030 contribute to more Tq than if the heads were unmilled?

The OP clearly has a very well spec'ed out cam, and the heads are kick ***!
They are milled .30" from what I know.

I think you are the biggest internet crybaby I have ever seen. All you do on this site and the other one is talk about how you, your whiny kid and ed are better than everyone else. No one is ever good enough for you guys unless YOU built it. Bash, bash, bash, thats all you do. You guys are punks. I think its really funny when you talk about how about how your high dollar parts are better than budget heads and so fourth are. For what you guys over charge I would hope the 2.2k port job Brett charges for Darts would beat a budget 5.3 head.
For what rmtt has into his car it and what HE (read: not you) wants out of it, it works. He loves it and that is what counts.
Maybe when you guys get done with your three way you'll notice it isn't what you think, its what the customer wants.
Sorry for the rant rmtt.
Nice power!

LOL!!! your not forgetting these guys started a thread on
"why reverse splits suck" and there setup with a bottom end LS2 made less power and less torque than predator Z custom cam for rmtt!!
and rmtt setup just prove all the haters that u can still make great power and torque with a reverse split cam and heads.

This car has an excellent torque curve and good hp, especially for someone wanting to keep their rpms lower due to having the stock rotating assembly. I don't understand how someone can say that reverse split sucks while looking at this dynograph. It very obviously has its place when put in the correct combo of parts. In fact, I plan on using this cam in my current build. Under the curve power dumdumdum.

I'm surprised that lower LSA cams don't seem to be that popular. Lower LSA's to a point seem to make more power just about everywhere except at very high rpm's.
I remember back in my Modular Ford days, one of the few streetable cams to take the 2v 4.6l past 300RWHP with just bolton's had a lower LSA then just about any other cam with similar duration and lift.
