Hotcam ONLY dyno numbers Finally got on the dyno tonight to check out the gain from the cam. I can't
believe how much I gained. I got almost a 28 hp gain with the Hotcam ONLY, no
tuning, no headers yet. So now I'm sitting at 324 rwhp SAE. I lost a few
pounds of torque throughout the powerband up until above 5k, then I'm making 30
more lb. feet.
Since I'm still on stock tuning, they had to cut me short (~5,800 rpm)....the
car was still building power at that point.
I don't think it will get much
above 330 or so with a new redline set, but I'm extremely impressed with where
it sits. Not bad with a little ole Hotcam through stock exhaust manifolds.
Once I get a set of headers, and tuning, I'm optimistic that it just might hit
the 350 rwhp mark.

I wonder if I'll see the same thing: loss of torque *after* a tune?
Won't know for a couple of weeks - I'm on the waiting list

damn nice numbers man!
Is that hotcam a 218/228 .525/.525 on a 112LSA? My baby cam (even smaller lift than a hotcam at 218/228 .495/.502 on a 112LSA makes 330rwhp and 345rwtq, but i do have LT's and exhaust.
I will be upgrading here shortly to hit the 400+rwhp mark on stock bottom end, I can't wait!

nice, i almost got on the rollers today, but i found a deal i couldn't pass up and ended up with a screw in my tire last night so i didn't go. looks like the numbers i was shooting for may be too low
