Re: New Dyno # with stock heads and custom cam.
Dude am am not saying that larger cams with good valve events and fast ramp rates wont make more power. My statement is mostly directed to those guys that buy a huge cam and thing they are going to run 11's. The cam has to be matched to the other components in the car. A lot of times you cam get the same or better results using a smaller cam. For example if I intend to leave my 3.42 gears, I dont want a 242/242 duration cam on a 106 lsa. Then there is smog, fuel milage, RPM's which can equal engine life), low and midrange power, etc. Going big and not changing the rest of the components on the car is worse than going small and not changing the other components in the car.

Re: New Dyno # with stock heads and custom cam. I agree to a point with 93 pony, cross section sets peak rpm
of power in a good combination. BowtieMan4life, i knew i would come across as a no it all with my response, but i did not mean to.Cam design is important to maximize area under the curve, and conserve and build maximium cylinder pressure.My reason for posting was explained earlier.

Re: New Dyno # with stock heads and custom cam. He said SAE numbers....not NET...I believe he's quoting the "Flywheel" horsepower...cause I'ma have to call BS on stock heads and that lil *** cam making those kinda numbers to the wheels. If you have the dynograph and prove me wrong then I'll have to eat crow...but untill you post the numbers I'm calling BS. Most Stage 2 H/C combo's are getting over 400 easily, but that's with an X1 type of cam and Stage 2 heads, tuning, Etc.
For NO tuning, that 220 cam and NO heads those numbers HAVE to be Flywheel numbers NOT wheel numbers. I mean ****...if we're gonna quote FLywheel numbers my stage 2 GTP's and X1 cam is making in excess of 500hp...
