Default ECS just how big???

Okay we ordered and installed the ECS cam, that has been putting out outstanding numbers. Somewhere I got it in my head it was about the size of a Torquer, or maybe a little bigger.

ECS (East Coast Supercharging) was very tight lipped about the specs...

Our tuner believes it is in the area of ~240 or bigger, based on the tuning, vaccuum, and quirks he has only seen on cams that size. Actually he stated he was thinking it may be bigger, and in the range of 242-244 intake and exhaust duration...

Anyone have any inside information they would care to share? I guess I should have had it cam doctored.

Needless to say we are happy with it! My wife wanted bigger numbers out of it but with AS Stage II 241 heads (2.02in/1.575ex), FAST 90/90, Pacesetters, with a stalled A4, it did 440rwhp/385rwtq. I was happy with that. Then again she was dissappointed with 532/508 on the bottle too.

Yeah, she wants to win, which means she is addicted to horsepower...

BTW the Camaro is her car, she got me the Z06 to get me out of the Camaro. She was like I want my car back so...
