Well I didn't break 400 but I would have if I had a UD pulley or didn't have a K&N which I wasn't aware that it lost power, or if I would have farted in the intake, or put more air in the back tires, etc. Its a great cam though I'm going to make a thread tommorow night when I get my dyno sheet scanned. I got a dyno video but its so loud in there its just really distorted. Its in my videos on youtube.

Ah c'mon it's not THAT bad

My car will still rattle apart, but I don't wish to off myself

As soon as he spec'd this cam for me i knew it was the one. It was right in the range i wanted. Remember you don't want to spin the motor to high. If you DD the car it won't feel powerful because you'll always be out of powerband.

I ended up making 397 whp and 377 trq. It makes 350 + ft lbs from 3500 to 6000 but what surprised me is how it holds power after peak. I don't see why you would need a bigger cam unless your trying to rev past 6750. The only reason I'm disapointed is because I wanted to break 400 but I understand why I didn't, I could put a UD pulley and a paper filter on it and probably make up in the 410-420 range. But it pulls great from bottom to top its not peaky at all. I'll post a thread up tonight in the dyno section and you guys can see what I'm talking about and give your thoughts.

That would also be a good cam. How much overlap does it have?

I wish he would chime in with his thoughts as well

I believe that one has 16* overlap. I might be pathetically wrong in my calculation, might have done something numerically wrong...

It was on a dj. Those numbers are right on! With his cam he should be 390-400. He is M6

16* is way too much overlap for me!
