I dont know the numbers yet but i will tomorrow.....my baseline dyno 100% stock was 301hp and 315tq so we will see what kinda changes it will make....I LOVE the way the car runs now with the mail order tune it has, its really strong in the low and midrange, and it sounds alot bigger than it is....I drive ALOT so i like that its not to hard on the springs and for what i use the car for, the cam is a perfect fit.

it is a very good cam, sounds awesome, it works amazing realy low down and through the midrange, but still has good peak.. realy noticable diffirent, feels kinda like the stock cam.. just gone mad, i realy like it and so does my friends,

i got two 226/226 cams.. one new, one W/500 miles on it,

good cam.. i just want a much much bigger one

I ran right with a friend's 6spd 400rwhp ss with just a base street tune on the car, I'm guessing 375-400rwhp as of right now with hardly any tuning with the 226 cam and mild home ported 241 heads through the auto.

I'd say that's pretty good for a 3400 stall unlocked and stock heads. That stall is eating up some major #'s on the dyno.

Well I've got a stock stall with mildly home ported 241 heads, so we'll see what mine does. Things holding me back are no under drive pulley and midlength headers without goin with a fast intake and 3" duals over my 2.5's.. so we'll see. I'm expecting about 400whp~.

395rwhp, very mild 241 heads shaved .020 and losing about 15rwhp~ from the fat mickey's on the back. The car runs HARD.. 360+rwtq from 2800rpms and on. Oh, and it spins the tires from a stop and pulls harder from idle than the stock cam. Oh, and it makes 380+rwhp for a good 1500-2000rpms and peaks arounnd 6400, amazing.
