How do you like your ASA Cam? How many People are currently using the ASA cam? How do you like the power and torque curve? What other parts did you add that made the cam really "shine"? How did you get the cam tuned? How long did it take?
I love my ASA i just got it tuned the other day. Only made 356 RWHP and 354 RWTQ i was pissed @ first but then i got looking around and I had a LS1 intake and stock TB, and flowmaster muffler, them 3 items are tieing up about 35 RWHP. So now i got true dual and this damn cam sounds AWESOME. dont regret. I can make close to 400 RWHP and never have to worry about valvesprings or anything. I highly recommend this cam. And my tuner had it tuned in a few hours

I too still have with the crappy ls1 intake for awhile, I think the ls6 will really wake it up even more. I tuned the car myself with HPTuners.

how is drivability with this cam-what kind of cam surge stock tune or tuned do you guys get and at what rpms? I love cruising at 1000 rpm, but imagine with this size cam you probably have to keep the engine up around 1500 to keep it from surging.
Anything you guys hate about it?
Anything that suprised you about the cam?

I love mine! The sound with my TD's is awesome. I get compliments on it almost everyday. I had my car tuned @ RevXtreme and took about 3 1/2 hrs. The only cam surge I get is @ 1500 rpms. Other than that its great. I can cruise 60mph in 6th no problem. Mods, #'s, and link to dyno sheet are in my sig.

I'll be trying to talk my boss into a cam swap soon for a comparison...I think with the tune and a different cam 550rwhp isn't out of reason here.

Any idea on how much power and torque the setup should be around. 402 with L92/L76 setup asa cam TD, and a tune. I would figure I should expect something along the lines of like 450-470 HP and 430-450 torque. Any guess's from the smarter ppl?
