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.

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.
People will believe any dyno numbers they see unfortunately.
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.

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.

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.

Sorry man, but I don't believe that. Many H/C cars don't have that. I wanna dyno my car on that dyno. Seems to be the most optimistic dyno is the world.

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.

If he's LUCKY. That is the bitter end of a bolt on/LT/tuned car. If he wants to guarante 360 PLUS as he said, he needs a cam.
