Heres my sns stage 3 finally :) Numbers are 355/330...lower than I hoped for but still extremely happy. The 4k stall really robbed me of better #s...and my stock injectors were completely maxed out. TJ (baker engineering) highly reccomended a set of heads/fast/and bigger injectors, to really maximize this cam. Said another 40+ hp is easily still on the table. I had planned on this regardless
Idle is just under 850rpm, and drives perfect. No buck/serge, not a problem at all thus far in stop and go traffic, considering that was my hour trip home. Soundzzz nnaassttyy..fking love it..just what I wanted. Heres a clip from my phone I did last night....I'll get a better one later.

Dyno jet with alot of street tuning tweaking to dial it in. Really "easy" to drive..great job their. This is a pretty mild cam...and through an auto with a big stall, it will not dyno near an m6.
From TJ.. "The stall will hide alot of hp/tq on a dyno jet (obviously)....the stock injectors were maxed out...which hindered performance alone....definitely need a set of heads&fast/injectors to maximize gains from this cam" I knew that going in...very pleased though...pulls crazy hard with good street manors...Next years mods are obvious

I was looking for a decent place to have my car tuned once I installed a cam and sounds like this place does a pretty good job. I will be installing a SNS stage 2 cam. Still gathering all the parts right now though. Could you PM what they charge for a tune? Thanks

High stall or not, that's a low number considering you have true duals, LS6 intake and a 234/242 cam - which isn't small at all. That's the same size as a G5X3 and that cam used to put out serious numbers with less overlap (112 or 114 LSA). Of course, dynos can be an ******* to a high stall car, so see what it runs at the track.
Btw, number looks like it's locked, but was it locked or unlocked for the run?

He didn't trust the strength of tbe converter, if my memory serves me right...or it was vis-versa....pretty sure unlocked though.man I did think the same....I was like "huh" thats it...He insisted that the stall was the cause of the #s.

Jake have you ever seen a car dyno with the converter locked and then unlocked and seen what it does to the numbers? I've seen as much as 50rwhp be gained and lost from locking and unlocking a converter. There are no magic cams and with an unlocked stall the numbers dont seem out of the ordinary at all. Rev max probably isn't the most efficient converter on the planet as well. My car with nothing but a converter change picked up 25rwhp un locked. Even with a locked converter you still have more drive line weight/mass to turn which will lower power numbers as well.
I have a friend with a ls2, tfs 225s, 239/246 112+3 cam, fast 102 and 11.0:1+ compression and unlocked he makes 410rwhp but runs 10.80s@126 and his raceweight is 3550lbs.
Stalled unlocked automatics kill dyno numbers is the moral of the story here. I never estimate power numbers with customers who have non lock up converters or dont lock their lock up converters on the dyno because of these scenarios. It has nothing to do with the cam, or the cam needing heads or a fast intake to "come alive". Also if the afr was anywhere in the range it needed to be in injectors wont raise power numbers any. Only if it was seriously leaning out would they help.
I guarantee this car runs 11.50's with a 1.6x 60'.

Thanks for saying what I couldn't....this was.the.impression I had from baker/tj...
It none-the-less screams throughout the whole rpm range, regardless of dyno#s. I will for sure swap my converter in a year or so, but for now It's fine...It performs very well for a street driver and I'm extremely happy extremely!!! Good **** Martin, glad I went with your specs..Thanks for all advice and help...
