I wouldn't even do a cam if you were not going to get a tune. Even with the stock cam you would see nice gains and better driability especially with LT headers.

I searched and looked at the first three pages and found several in the 330-350 range, which is normal. I found one or two that broke 350+. To say that 340 to 370 is something that could normally be attained from just both ons is pretty far out there. Ive seen a few bolt on + baby cam cars barely break 370, which we all know could have something to do with the tuning.
I was in disbelief at the easily attained 360 comment, but to now throw in 370 blows my mind.

I have done other cars with similar mods, and they all put down similar numbers as I stated. It would be more financially viable to get LT and a proper tune to reach 360rwhp, then spending nearly twice that with a cam and spring package to dyno 360rwhp.

Here is a car I tuned, it put down 368rwhp and 389rwtq. This was on a conservative tune, due to knock issues. Plus it was on a dynapack dyno, which reads similar to dynojets.

Hmmm, maybe ill have to let you tune my cam only car. Maybe after you tune it and we dyno it on your dyno it will see like 450+. Hell if thats conservative, then i dont see what you couldnt pick up another 10hp. Thats 378. THrow in a cam and your awesome tuning/dyno i dont see why 450+ cam only isnt attainable...
Ive got some ocean front property in Montana ill sell ya real cheap too.

Sorry but anything over 350 is not the norm. You can't go by postings in the dyno section because guys who get the abnormal #'s tend to post them. Not the average #'s. To tell someone bolt ons, and LT's with a tune will get 360 RWHP is not reality in most cases. Like I said, I have SEEN maybe 20 cars with the mods we're talking about, almost all were in the 330-350 range at most. If he wants 360 no questions asked, no issues, no maybes. He needs a small cam. Period.

360-370 is alot. Mine with all boltons put 352 RWHP and I was shocked by that result. Im going to be buying a Torquer V2 soon and run it with stock heads (upgraded push rods and springs) and tune it until I can afford some Patriot Stage 2 heads. I'll be doing this probably by the end of January so I'll let everyone know how that turns out.
