Trevor/Jason, any plans to test it setup with a set of say, AFR Mongoose heads, or any nicely ported ones? Hope so, need to see that before I swap out again.

I'm confused about these numbers. Am I the only one? Cain are you confused?
Cain's car made 409 rwhp with the difference being 4.10 gears, Yank 4400, slightly bigger version of this cam and TSP/PP LS6 Style Race Heads.
So what gives here?

The cams are virtually the same and has always done well since almost a year ago when we first spec'd one out. I wouldn't compare differences between two different brands unlocked converters/gears. Lynda's car did 310rwhp and went 11.5's, 409rwhp and did 10.8's...I don't think she's down on power at all.

Probably a silly question, but will that cam be even close to making it thru emmissons with cats? Or is it like some of the other huge cams and need the wide open exhaust of no cats? I live in CT, and the emmissions program is starting up again soon, I'd love to slug in a nasty cam like that, but swapping it out and retuning the car every time it has to go thru is more of a pain than I wanna deal with.

SliverSurfer, I am not confused, we picked up 99rwhp from the Heads and Cam package, I see alot of M6's not even pick up that much. Oh and the dyno is just a tuning tool, our timeslips tell us what we want to hear. If we wanted we could go to MTI and pick up another 10-15 hp and probably lock the converter for 20 or more, but we are not into racing the dyno.

Ummm OK, I'm glad you're not confused cause now I'm more confused.
So is the dyno a tuning tool or an advertising tool?
Is 402 hp cam only believable or are your numbers unbelievably low for running 122.91 mph in a 3350 lb car in +1700 DA?
You picked up 99 hp from H/C and 80+ can be gotten just from the cam.
So once again, what gives?

Its simple... You can't compare dyno numbers between two different unlocked converter cars, sure they are the same rated stall but from 2 different converter company's. A more precise test would be cam swap / dyno / then head swap / then dyno on the same car. 99rwhp from heads/cam swap is good, 80rwhp from cam only is awesome. Brian's car has always responded well to mods.

Hey Clint do you think that we fall into that class?..
Matt.
Just tell them that the engine is loping because you got a bad plug wire...
