As a rule of thumb, shorter duration cams (any duration similar to most factory cams) produce more torque and less HP and it all happens below about 5,000 RPM's. The inverse is also true. Longer duration cams (.050" durations greater than 220 degrees) produce more HP than torque and the HP peak is above 6,000 RPM's.

i have a custom futral cam.
cam only i put down 383hp/418tq threw a 4000 yank and a 9 inch on slicks.
this is on a carbureted setup, so the EFI results may vary.
a 6spd, 10 bolt and some high pressure tires and i think i could have squeezed some more out of her.
good luck

Look into the asa hotcam. 226/236 .525 110lsa Im in the process of putting one in, along with some other stuff But from the dyno sheets Ive seen this thing has tons of room under the curve. Search isnt working for me right now, but check it out.

Hello,
Was the torque converter locked or unlocked during the dyno run?

wonderful thing about wideband o2s. when they work, they ar a good thing. when they don't, it's a bad thing. the pump forthe wideband o2 box for the tailpipe sniffer was broke. so, the wideband readings were false.
converter unlocked.

It's kind of small but it's the red line. The blue one is with my old 231/237 cam. I'm much happier with the really low-end power like <2000k rpms. It's quite a bit more torquey. It opens up around 2500 instead of the 3000 with the 231/237, which is what I was really wanting. I saw dapsuprslow's cam (the same specs as mine) and saw that it made 405/406 and thought hey make more power and better driveability. However, I didn't know he was running open headers with extensions.
