i went to the local elementary school and asked opinions of a t-rex. the teachers all concurred that it was a stubby armed dinosaur, but the 2nd-5th graders agreed that this was the cam of choice for 10s on a stock cube ls1.

i heard one of them mutter something about the "magic stick", but i left shortly thereafter as a riot was slowly forming amongst the ones at lunch.

You have a guy that has twice the gear as I saying good gas mileage, are you really that stupid to say I need a tune to get better gas mileage. I run a larger displacement engine, a transbraked 3 speed, 4000 stall, a 12 bolt rear, and engine set up for racing. You are a complete moron to think I need a tune when I am laying down over 480rwhp because I lack gas mileage compared to a guy running a 346, 6 speed, on 28in tall tires. Once again get a clue.
Woah! It is a full out race cam. I said that it CAN be a daily driver camshaft if tuned correctly with the proper gear. I said you should be getting better gas mileage than what you are getting. I had a more radical cam than this in a carb truck that got better gas mileage than what you are getting. I had a friend with a 6 speed getting the same gas mileage as previously noted. If you keep your foot out of it and got a better tune *** pirate you would probably get better gas mileage.
If you think the T-rex CANT be driven daily. You need to tell your b/f to stop
breaking your back at Brokeback.


P.s.- Where is the dyno sheet of 480 rwhp ?

True but there is a head that would go well with a radical setup like the TREX.
Why not an AFR 225 or ETP 225? I think either of these heads would be a nice setup with a TREX.
