Huh? With correct installation and tuning this cam is a great performer. You are the only one I have ever seen say otherwise.

Congrats on the cam install - tune.

#1. Auto's don't dyno very high, especially with a stall. What did you dyno before with the cam being the only change? Tuning also makes a difference.

#2. I would be willing to bet that the conditions and 60 ft ect. were a lot different between the runs at the track.

These results are VERY atypical for that cam! The TR230 is a good performing cam.

yeah i know the cam is a great performer regardless of what people say.....but all comments are appreciated.....the car has been slightly wrecked from the rear passenger quarter but never from the front end........a girl at work had back up into the nose once and i had it repainted i guess the damn bodyshop didnt line it up right but i've never noticed...anyways the topic is about the cam not the looks.....the car was actually semi-tuned when i took the vid.....i still need to play with the air/fuel mixture and the timing a bit on the dyno

the exhaust consist of some crappy dynatech lt's with a custom 3 inch y...going into a cut out before the rearend......no muffler!......i plan on either putting a bullet or a sweet thunder chammberd muffler in the next few weeks....but yeah she is pretty loud for being straight pipe....other mods i did before i took the beast out are

ls6 intake
asp underdrive pulley
comp 918 springs
comp titanium retainers
manly 7.4 chrome moly pushrods
a set of 241 heads with 30k on them
polished the waterpump
powdercoated the timing chain cover

runs pretty good....love the way it sounds....and not that bad on gas!!!

I dynoed 340ish, I gain 20rwhp out of the cam.

And weather was about the same, high 70's. And 60ft were both in the 1.7 range
