Default The Beast

Anyone with a Vinci 060 "The Beast" cam (228/232 .551/.551 112lsa)?
I'll be calling Vinci next week.
Just looking for some feedback.
Thanks

Im just looking for general impressions.
How is it in the lower rpm range (0-4000)?
Have you had you car on the dyno.........what kind of tq #'s are you getting?
Thats a pretty healthy cam..........why do you want to upgrade?

Thanks

Rpm range from 0 to 2700 is about normal before the cam but when it gets to 2700 up to your shift point it pulls pretty good. I'm still running the stock converter so that's making a difference. I came from a drag bike so the pull doesnt feel all that special. For a car it pulls decently.

The car has a very noticeable lope to it, a bit stronger than the Torquer 2 and extremely loud with a cut out at WOT.

I havent had it on a dyno but I do have track numbers. 12.8@111, with the stock tune, stock tires and stock converter. The only suspention mods so far is LCA's and a sway bar.

I want to upgrade cause I want more and im power hungry.

Get a converter, all that power ain't doing much good w/o one.
