Numbers seem REALLY low to me for a cam swap. I have TBSS and have seen some STOCKERS do 335 with just a tune and boltons.

I made 350rwhp exactly on the dyno with my bolt on one, what did you run at the track though, thats more important than dyno racing. I went 12.34 at 108 with mine.

I like the cam, any track times with it or going to get any times soon?

it was a dynojet? I dont have headers. So I still am running manifolds and cats. Maybe thats why they are alittle low right now. Headers will be in my future. What bolt ons did you have?
No track times yet, but I plan on getting out maybe this wednesday night if the weather is good.

it was a hot and humid Mississippi day, probably mid to high 80s with 80% humidity

Yes a dynojet, I'm still with the stock exhaust manifolds also, no headers here, but I don't have cats anymore since I had a ypipe made. I've got the efans, ud pulley, lighter wheels/drag radials, yank 3800 converter, home made cai, etc.

Ook , well, now you got me thinking... Overall my truck pulls really good. We finally got some good non humid air here so I think I might run it this wednesday to see. I am still in stock form as far as appearance, still on the 20" with street tires. What was the weather when you dynoed?

more important what did yours weigh? Also you have a big converter in it. I use mine as a daily and tow with it.

I went 13.4@87mph letting out at the 1000ft. Banged 2-3 shift and let out. I havent been back since. Still working on the tranny shift tuning.

I got 4'' power pipe, 160 stat, LT1 E-fans, Magnaflow weld in muffler, Circle D converter and a tune that needs some work. Race weight was 488x

and Landonz you will pick up some good power with a set of long tubes so no worries.

I weighed mine at the ltxshootout and it was 4530lbs.

Also I used to have an 06 TBSS with headers and a custom cam(didn't lope at all, I wanted a sleeper) and it made 394rwhp on motor, with the I6 converter and full weight and a 75 shot went 11.9 at 113mph back in 2006 before the TBSS's were popular.

So what your saying is that I should look into headers soon. Those will come in time.

sounds healthy! don't let the number play with you, as long as your happy with the performance/pull, you'll be fine

my cam that's going in my new 370 build is just a little bigger 228/228 .588 .588 on a 115LSA, very quiet I might even go to a 117 cam to make it even stealthier
