Just because your friend chose a large cam doesn't necessarily mean he's going to get large numbers. If the car can't breathe in the higher rpms (where this cam really performs), then it's not going to perform as well as you think.

And trust me, I TOTALLY understand this cam needs air. I said that before he even got the stuff ordered.

when this guy decides to get all of the parts to work with the set up he should be closer to where others have gotten with that cam

Also, for that video, get a hold of boseman350 (he's the kid with the silver WS6 that was at the show), he should be able to host it for you.

Mine gets driven through everything but snow. I just hit 18K miles. I bought it with 12K back in April though... so yeah, I do a lot of driving.
My 01 Z had 91K when I sold it

You also have to take into consideration that not all stock LS1 GM short blocks are the same. Each and every motor has it's own characteristics. One motor may have been whooped on much more then another and that whooped on motor will most likely not produce as much power due to the wear and tear it sustained.
