I just put one in my car, see sign. I have seen people on here post 360 to 410 rwhp from this cam. I have yet to see anyone make less then 360. I will be dynoing mine next week and tuning it. I will post some numbers after that if you like.

that does not quite sound right. not calling BS, but is your tuning conservative or is something wrong? you don't have a HUGE stall yet, unless you don't still have the 3500....

Well, your is the lowest so far. Sorry, who did the tune? I like to use Team ZR-1. He has done me great on all my tunes. I pry mine makes more then that. But, maybe it was the dyno you used. Track times look good. Bet you realy make more then that.

Tuned by speed inc. Was on the unlocked 3500 stall (TCI SSF), stock LS1 intake, stock pulley. Interestingly enough, the power fell off after 5,800 rpm. Valve float not an issue, running PRC duals. I'm hoping that the LS1 intake was to blame. I had a thread about it awhile ago, never really figured out WTF was going on. I didn't worry about it too much, I gained 0.4 and 4.5 mph with it. I attribute the less than steller performance (though track times weren't too bad) to the fact that a 3500 stall (with 3.23's esp) isn't big enough for the MS3 and the stock LS1 intake was choking it.

I just dropped the car off again at speed inc, my tranny isn't doing so hot. It's getting an LS6 intake, ASP pulley and dyno/retune if needed. Also getting the maximum evil 4L60E and the converter is being restalled to 4,000. I really don't care much about the dyno numbers, I hope to pick up the extra time that was missing at the track with the higher stall and LS6 intake.


Edit: BTW, it only made 319 rwhp and 337 rwtq through the unlocked stock converter with everything but the ported TB and cam.

You lost .4 with it! Heck that sounds great with a cam swap. I am with you, forget the dyno numbers, the track times speak for it self.

0.4/4.5 mph with cam swap is acceptable. I have a large cam that could gain more than that, but I didn't have the supporting mods. Those are coming now.

Edit: Oh yeah, one last thing. My tranny was flaring pretty badly on the 2-3 shift the one time I've been to the track since the cam, which could have only hurt things even more.
