This one was designed with cam only in mind. 117 would make it idle like stock.
Power range 3000-6500. So 7Ks won't benefit. Reverse split for the smaller stock head intakes.
This could be a really good cam with 205 AFR 66cc. (Very Stealthy) yet with 430rwhp capability IMO.

It looks similar to MTI X1 230/227, .591/.571 112lsa (AMS> 230/227, .593/.594 117lsa)
BTW does MTI use LUNATI cores?

Cam has an almost stock idle, yet makes really good power on the topend. Its geared more towards a sleeper car with a nitrous setup. It lacks in the midrange where our other motor grind work, but for bottle... Works really good with smaller dry shots for a super stealthy setup! It will make an easy 400 rwhp cam only, just more topend/less midrange.

When you say midrange you mean 3000>4500?? or else??

And "small shot of N2O dry" that means 100>150 ??
