Default Dynoed with the Hammer cam

I dynoed this weekend with the C1 cam and my 100 shot. First pull was motor only, got 355 HP/ 360 TQ but the O2's were running 990mv the whole time. I'd like to get them down to 890mv on motor pulls. My next 2 pulls were with my dry shot and the first was the best with 473 HP/ 557 TQ but the O2's were still rich around 940mv. I dont mind them being rich when I am spraying, but I want to lean it out on motor so I can get that number where it should be. I was very impressed with the TQ number on the bottle pull. I am still surprised the stock fuel system is able to supply this much fuel. My timing stayed around 27º and knock never flashed above 1.8º. I was pretty happy considering if I lean out the motor pulls, I can pick up maybe 15+ HP on the motor alone. I just installed the cam 2 weeks ago so this was with no EW tuning. Only tuning was HPP3.

Well, I have the ET streets and ran a best of 12.3 @ 117 with a 2.0 60' on just the stock motor and a cutout with the 100 shot. With this setup, I need to put money in the rearend fund. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0"> I dont think with just the TA girdle this rear is gonna like 557 ft lbs at the track on the ET streets. <img src="images/icons/frown.gif" border="0">

Congrats.

Your right... lean it out and you will find more power.

The other day a M6 buddy dynoed N/A with the Hammer cam, stage 2 MTI heads and a set of macs. 437.5 rwhp!
Jeeeez. Out of a little 222/222 cam! Man that was amazing.

Congrats, get a handle on your fuel curve.... and you'll be smiling even broader. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

John, how much HP do you think I can pick up by bringing the O2's down to 890mv? Is 15-20 a good estimate or is there more in there? <img src="images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0"> I am running the stock heads btw. Can't wait to get some ported ones. <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Sweet,Congrats on the #s.

I bought the same cam and springs. Im waiting to get my block back so I can install them. Cant wait to see what #s I get also. I have the FLPs instead though.

I might get some porting done to my heads at a local shop who has my block.

One more thing, my peak HP was about 5600 on all the runs. Shouldnt this be higher? I raised the rev limiter to 6600 and am shifting at 6400. Should I bring it back down a little? Peak TQ was 4K on the bottle pull and 4.5K on the motor pull. I thought with this cam my peak would raise some. <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">
