I did 411 when I had that cam. Stock heads airlid and slowmaster and a agressive tune on pump gas. That cam sounds wicked, it chops hard like the big boys.

get a torquer v.3 mine used to chop hard the whole car would shake bad... I really like my 224 cam now though power seems alot better down low and mid range still has a mean idle and i can actually hear my radio again haha.

Yep, its sounds a lot bigger than it is!
I made 393rwhp on an old tune, and picked up 3 tenths & 4mph with a new tune, so it may be closer to 400rwhp now.

you car traps 118 now? that's more like 420 whp, nice tune haha.

the gm asa cam - 226/236 .525/.525 on a 110+(i think)4. i would put it up against a 224 anyday.

i think it's a good cam. i also think the same cam on say an xer/xfi setup would be badass. also could do without the ground-in advance, too

No, sorry, thats my fault, I should've clarified. Thats my new best time in the sig. The best time on the old tune was 12.9 @ 110mph. Both runs had a crappy 2.2 60ft time on the same street tires, so I picked up .3 & 4mph.
I'm losing traction & getting bad wheel hop on the 1-2 shift now w/ the new tune, so I'm looking forward to fixing that w/ some tires & going back to see if times improve
