THe dyno numbers might not look that impressive with this cam, but the track times are pretty good.

didn't really care about the dyno numbers i wanted it for the track. the car pulls up high and hard at that will be glad to get the trans back together with the 4000 stall.

This is what I have seen with others posting their results. This cam really needs to breath in order to make up the torque. Jason at TSP explained to me the reason for marketing this cam was to make up for the loss in the torque that is associated with the 231/237. Yet surprisingly he mentioned the 233/239 runs smoother than the 231/237. I would like to see two cars running the exact same mods with the only variable being the two cams and see for ourselves which makes, efficiently, more power. I understood through Jason that the norm was 15-20 more max ft/lbs with the 233/239 then the 231/237. I can't remember if this was with headwork included or not. Finally, it seems that the 6 speeds are dynoing torque higher. I know this is an obvious statement but it seems to be more than normal.

Can't wait to post my results when my car comes out of hibernation!

I got pretty much the same results on my car: 383 HP and 333 TQ unlocked. I've been really happy with the cam and the tune made it really driveable. I know I need a looser stall and more gear but, for my particular application, it works pretty good. I'm also running the stock 98 heads still

I need a higher stall w/ excellent efficency for the highway, and as stated by Jason and others, better breathing heads. The car pulls great in the midrange and gets really going around 4K. My car also weighs in at 4100 with all my gear and I in it. I'm really happy and can't wait to get it to the track. Ought to be interesting to spray it as well
