Well, that doesnt have anything to do with it. You will have drivetrain loss through the 4L60e and a stall converter which would make you have lower numbers. Cam only...I can't see that happening unless it is with something like the T-rex...and it would still be less than that most likely.

the car has a stock converter and put down that much power and yes i understand with a aftermarket stall it will put down less power ....why is it that some performance shops say that it will not put down that much power because it is so small of a cam and they deal with cams everyday and all day long and they know what they are saying...
