I running Goodyear GS D3's and I have to use control with the throttle in 1st and 2nd gear to keep traction. When I'm really getting on it. I have to admit I'm very happy with this cam. The graph shows the cam after it was tuned before and after degreeing the cam. It was installed dot to dot, but then I had to buy an adjustable timing chain and get it degreed as my torque and hp weren't were they should be. Degreeing got things right. Also here is a soundclip of the cam. This is thru highflow cats. http://media.putfile.com/228232-110LSA-on-Startup

After my header install with the air intake, exhaust, and 4:10's I made 339 rwhp and 350 rwtq tuned. My new numbers are with the ported tb also.

So basically, your cam gained you 45/32 rwhp/rwtq! The torque gain is especially impressive...a testimony to good valve events and increased dynamic compression.

what did you want out of that cam?
what rpm do you shift at?
and how did they decide what would be the right specs?

im talking to the guy with the pic of the vette in the sig and who posted that graph

I was looking for a mid size cam that had good low and midrange that also had a nice lope to it. I sent a pm to Patrick G asking him for suggestions. This is the cam he suggested. I have my rev limiter set at 6600. I've yet to hit the limiter on my WOT runs so I'd just have to guess they were around 6400 or so.

The one that makes the most hp in the powerband you're racing will win the race. Or said another way, if your rpm window is 4500-6500 rpm, then the cam that makes the most AVERAGE horsepower in that rpm range will win the race. Horsepower wins races, not torque.
