Cam is in

My CC custom grind is finally in. Hitting the dyno on tuesday hopefully to see what kind of gains i made (352 HP, 357 TQ). From small observation i didnt feel a huge gain with the cutout closed, but man when i opened it the car atleast 30 HP faster than before. Im hoping for 380+ on a cam only car with stock tune (and midlengths not LT's)! If i make 380 or more im considering selling the Mac mids and getting some SLP longtubes (ive heard that the SLP LT's make the most power) to see if i can inch closer to 400 whp.

There are probably a lot of things you are hearing wrong.

thank you. specs are 224/224 535 lift 108 LSA (with 4 degrees ground in). car has NO driveablitity issues despite the LSA. Lopes pretty hard even though my idle was reset to 950. So any guess as to what i might expect to dyno (352 357 previous)?
