I'm glad you guys like it - I think it is a good top-end option for 355-396 guys looking for a 450-500rwhp HR setup. Beyond that, and it isn't my intention to insult you guys, but it seems the cam spec obsession online has been driven to new heights in recent years. If you have a couple cams that are relatively similar, then they are going to typically exhibit similar power potential provided the actual characteristics of one isn't entirely out of the ballpark. The cam in the previous setup, were it retained and run with our TFS head & ported manifold, should have been within 20, and more likely 10-15hp if we raced both on the dyno. The power potential, assuming a decent short block, has always primarily been in the head and manifold. Focusing on the things that are marketed the most, but matter the least (flow #'s and claimed cam specs), is what keeps so many from building competitive setups.
Great numbers! I would agree here, "relatively" similar is the key word tho. Dont know what you used in the new cam but within 20hp sounds reasonable but its a good chunk of difference at the same time.

I dropped 65lbs off the front of the car still kept the air conditioning and the nitrous converter in... Might not be enough but should still be interesting!
Travis if we meet in the finals im sure we will be a good race. my fastest 1/8th is 7.19. Some small changes this year but nothing to make it much faster.

Just from looking at his signature Travis is going to have to ad weight to run this class.

I just noticed this thread. Very nice number from the TFS 21's & AI cam!
PS: Also have to agree with many other members on this being one of my favorite cars from way back.
