I was initially going to run a big cam but the more I read, the more I thought about toning things down a little. I am very pleased with my choice. I think some day I'll go bigger with more cubes and all the goodies, but for now it's a street car and I was going for a good combo with that in mind. I tend to be a little on the aggressive side with what I can tolerate which is why I sprang for the PT4400 and 4.10's.

I drove it 10 miles after I installed it for the tune, so very little seat time untuned. All I remember is having to two-foot it and no lock-up on the highway. I wouldn't have wanted to drive it any further.

it takes more than a cam. It takes a great combo of every bolt on you can do along with a great tune.You have to match everything together. I have a little 224/228 581/588 cam with a 12 bolt that has 4.30 gears and a steel driveshaft and I out perform A LOT of the bigger cams. I put down 452 rwhp and 408rwtq. A small cam can kick *** but a well matched big cam combo can do even better. I just got done flycutting my pistons and I'm about to do the small vs. big cam shootout. If all goes well I should be at or very near 500rwhp. If I threw the stock rear and stock driveshaft back in it I would break the 500 mark for sure. I should be able to do it with the 12 bolt

you dont need a "BIG" cam... you need a properly matched combo... as I have said before.

Every car will dyno different and every dyno will dyno different...**** the same dyno will dyno different every time....just cause they put down 450 some where else doenst mean they will put down 450 on every single dyno.

Properly matched combo? lol what about the exceptions such as myself? J/k, i like my combo and it works. Like someone said in page one, a ms3/4 matched with a big stall and tire will do its magic. 11.72@115 cam only, MS3. thats on completely stock suspension also, stock crank pulley, stock TB, stock 853 heads obviously.
