is that just smoking mirrors? just curious

There are a few Reasons, I was NOT going for the biggest power gain more along the lines of the best all around daily driver with Benefits.
There are bigger cams that make more PEAK power but will give up drive ability and Idle quality, and low speed torque and Throttle response.
These cars are geared Pretty High in 6th gear and we wanted to be able to cruise in 6th gear on the highway at normal speeds 60-70 mph.
With Bigger cams you would either have to maintain 85 mph or drop to 5th gear.
The Customers Goal for use is the Primary concern not the Dyno.
I select a cam that best fits the customer and we achieved his goals.
