Cam is installed

Just put in my cam and spec's and dyno numbers are in sig. Are those numbers pretty good? I thought the tourqe would of been a little more but oh well. It really does sound good though.

I would think you shoud have got higher numbers...more like 390 or so, but maybe you got a tough dyno or something? Your trap speed will tell ya what kind of power it's actually making too.

Yeah, the TB, pulley and cats are probably holding back 15-20hp. That's a pretty big cam for stock heads. How's it sound?

Numbers seem a little low, but overall not to bad. I made 432-392 with PPs2 ls6 and most bolt-ons through a 12 bolt with that same cam.

I don't know, 40hp out of cam only doesn't sound too bad. Most guys seem to see a little more though.... What were the conditions like on your dyno run? 100 degrees w/ matching humidity could do bad things to big numbers.

It climbs real smooth all the way to the top. No dips or nothing.

You can port the throttlebody yourself. I plan on doing mine this winter sometime. Most guys get the ASP pulley.

And I thought my numbers were kinda low, but I guess just the people who dyno high post up their numbers. I put down 376/376 with the mods in sig minus the intake and in high 90 degree weather. The numbers your car put down do seem kinda low for the cam you have. Maybe it is the lack of the other bolt-ons (pulley, throttle body, and the cats will restrict your exhaust a little).I got my ASP from Thunder Racing for about $210. Also, you're using 918's with a cam that has .601 lift?
