The dyno on the first page is without the advance. It increases torque about 6 lb-ft and sacrifices about 4hp.

I just got my car dynoed today at Virginia Speed and Ed said it made 520 rwhp with the original torquer cam.
I switched to the torquer cam after having a 243/253 on a 113 with .650 or so lift. The Torquer Cam completely transformed my 427 ls7. It has so much more torque now that you can't even compair the two. Its like a whole different engine and MUCH more enjoyabel to drive on the street now.
I drive my car 99% on the street and feel as though this is an excellent cam and worked exactly as advertised. I have never felt a drop off at high RPM (rarely go that high anyway), and the driveability is very much improved.
Just my 2 cents, but now that this thread is back, I just wanted to give my thumbs up!!!

I was trying to figure out what DCR the torquer would put a stock LS7 at, but then i remembered that you guys use proprietary lobes. What DCR does the torquer put a stock LS7 at? I'm guessing well above 9.1
no?
no?
I'm getting a couple different numbers using two different calculators, so I'll just give you that data. IVC is 36 deg. ABDC and the rod length is 6.067.
Final dyno 
After switching to a PowrMax 100mm MAF, Ed at Virginia Speed churned out these final numbers.
Remember this is through a Ford 9inch with 3.70 gears.
The engine is a 430 with 11.5 to 1 compression and a ported intake and etb.
