wow, that cam seems to peak and finish way early.

not to be a debbie downer, but i've seen hci lt1s make low 400s, even a couple in the 420-430 range. using a lot less motor and 93 oct.

i guess i'd be expecting more out of a 12.5-13:1 comp motor on 100 oct going through 388 inches. who tuned it? it's a stick car as well, right? what rear?

So you think that's bad numbers out of it?

I'd race your ls car in a heartbeat

I don't like the smell of 93 octane

I will give you credit for NOT actually saying how great it is untested, it does put you one up on the vast majority.

LOTS of guys here like to post as soon as they get off the phone with their favorite *** kissing vendor and say how great all the stuff they don't have is, then once it is together you hear nothing, see posts looking for help as to why it isn't working, excuses why it isn't working, or just flat out defense of mediocrity.
I'm not really surprised you haven't commented again lol
Maybe you shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Here it is on the dyno. Sorry for crappy video. I took video with my phone and video camera but misplaced my video camera. I think I left it at my buddies house.

I'll post other vids when I find camera.

I can understand why you don't want to take it to the track. When I had a Spec 4 it was responsible for taking out the spider gears in my 12-bolt twice running 1.7 60' times. Good clutch, but damn was it grabby.
