Who grinds MTI's cams?

The specifications on the G1 are 228/232, .588/.575 - 113 LSA.

After mods DYNO: 13 to 1 AFR/ 28-29 degrees timing, no KR
412rwhp @6300 rpm
393twtq @4650rpm
I am not impressed considering my car was a strong performer stock. I have been told by MTI that it should show 425ish, even with the 115+4 lsa. Considering the lsa it peaked early, I thought. I may be splitting hairs at this point.
312 Stock isnt that strong man. Although 412 with stage 2 heads and a cam that big is pretty weak, looks like your missing a ported TB. That should be good for ~7-10 HP, the numbers dont seem too bad to me, how was the weather? With stock gears, a TB, and some good air I bet you would be over 425.

if your car was layin down 345 stock, and you were only makin 412 now, I'd be real worried. But a 100rwhp jump from heads/cam is pretty decent, kinda weak considering the brand of heads/cam but nothing to kill yourself over.

You obviously don't follow C5 performance... 312 rwhp with a bone stock C5 is good... usually the 2001s hit around 300 - 305....
The temps were around 60 (F) ambient and my IATs were in the low 70s...
I thought about the TB (maybe a Shaner), but after doing a search I can not find any proof that there would be any real HP gain. Heck even the guy who makes the Shaner would not commit to any HP increase...

Would the Shaner be the best bet???
