check this dyno out that vengeance sent me. Was on an ls1 with as cast 220s and a fast 92 combo. Its awesome how the cam stays flat for 700 roms before dropping

I'm assuming this was rwhp...what clutch/drivetrain was this through?

Definitely solid numbers and nice top end hold!

i emailed him again with your questions. He said this to me:

The cam will pull to every bit of 7000 rpm increasing in power the whole way but on the dyno under a load it starts to jump a little so the graph doesn’t really speak true after 6500ish. I had a vindicator in my camaro and I loved it, it pulled ridiculously hard up top and wanted to keep going. You really have to convince yourself to shift!

yea i was going with raptr but i think im thinking twice now lol

he said it was rwhp through an M6 with o surge from 1600 rpms up

That is mighty impressive. Were the heads milled at all? If so, how much and did he have to fly-cut?

It's a 240+ duration cam. Of course it's going to rev to 7K.

Gonna move this to internal since it isn't an individual dyno result.
