Very nice numbers for a stalled auto and a mild cam!

Yea if I were to have guessed I would have said 20hp less and a few ft/lbs. less, like 315-320rwhp and 335rwtq. through the stalled auto. Your typical M6 would dyno those numbers with a cam of that size.

Good job man dont let the envy of others spoil your hard work!!!!

No envy here been cam-only done that. Based off your numbers I'd venture to say the dyno wasn't generous in which case would have his numbers as legit more than likely. Never disputed just said how they are what a 6-speed would typically go with those mods.

thanks I am just glad that we now have another dyno verified option for off the shelf cams. I realize that it is blasphemous to utter the word cam unless it is preceded by custom grind but I am happy with the results out of a relatively small emissions friendly cam, maybe we can get the mods to update the stock head cam swap guide to include Lunati

If there were more people running the Lunati's and showing good results on and off the track I would add them but I'm trying to keep the guide to the more common proven choices. That way it makes it easy for people to know what to expect if they select a certain camshaft where as people running Lunati's are far and few between and its very hard to gather any consistent or considerable data unfortunately.

Very nice numbers! Is this the .471/.480 lift cam? With the 1.6 rockers that puts it at .502/.512, making it significantly smaller than the hotcam.

Also, are you going to run it at the track?

it is .515/.530 with 1.5 so corrected to 1.6 it is .549/.565 and yes I will be going to the track but I have a driveline issue I need to work out and I need to get some DRs or something that will hook up.

Hmm, must be different from the cams listed on their website.

Some Nittos will do fine at your power level if you want to drive them everyday on the street. Good luck at the track!

Duration @ .050 is listed as 221/229. Did you change cams from the one in your sig? Just trying to figure out which cam you have since you made awesome numbers and I'll be looking into cams within a year

Interesting. I wonder why they would advertise the cam as being bigger on their website than it actually is?

Either way, great numbers

I was off a little to the low side, but the #s look ok to me. Smaller cams can get the job done if everything else is in order. Good job!!!
