call me a hater or what ever you would like but this is where you lost me.... say your ls1 with the intake and the nick w tb and the kooks and a tune and what ever makes an impressive 350hp to the ground through a t56 a 9 inch and on slicks (all of which reduce your dyno numbers). your saying that you came up with a cam worth 124hp!! give or take whatever the real numbers are the cam would still be good for at least 100hp. im not calling anybody a liar but lets be serious......

Nobody believed when Jason @ Thunder made 455 r.w.h.p. with the T-REX. Joe is a straight up nice guy, his car runs the number 10.23 cam-only. He knows his ****, and is a badass tuner!!!!! Call it what you want, but I gaurantee when he does tear the engine down he'd let anyone inspect the heads, pistons, block, and all to show the facts.

firstly, some cars are just freaks, and secondly i can totally believe the numbers Joe is making, there's a lot of little mods that can be done to help make that kind of power. i expect 480+rwhp with my 346 cam/very mild heads setup so i believe it can be done easily.

It's not like he's playing by a certain set of rules or anything. He's just going fast with what he's got until his new engine is done. For all we know he's tried 5 or 6 different cams to find the one that fit his setup the best.
Exactly. Joe and Amber are great people. They have no reason to lie. Joe has quite a few tricks up his sleeve. This is NOT YOUR AVERAGE pump gas hydraulic roller 240/244 blah blah blah CAM CAR!!!

Lets be serious. There are hundreds of people out there that have seen my car for what ever reason even at the track and Madman that did the suspenion and just as many that I have worked with. I have the before and afters and if you do not believe me, come to the shop and we will tear it down for you. The nonbelivers are the ones that have tried and failed at a similiar setup. The believers are the ones who have seen it run. Pick a time to come out and we will take the cam out and put it back in, let you look over the car and hell I will even pull the heads off for just you so you can believe. I guarantee it will make the same power.
You are also welcome to come out and verify that the heads have never been off before we do it or the oil pan and yes you can tell. We also never said we picked up 124hp with the cam. I had a TR224 before that made 410rwhp. With my cam selection it went to 441 with a stock throttle body and a LS6 Intake and with the Fast intake and NW throttle body it went to 463. Those are proven numbers.
