I gained 98 HP and 40 FT/LBS of torque with the TrickFlow head and spec cam.

455HP/ 422 Torque to the wheels.

VVT Cam 226/232 .604 114+6.

I can't get the graph to upload. Site says the file is too big. Anyone know how to adjust the size using a Mac?

I am very happy with the way the install went. I ran into a few issues along the way but I got it done.

Thank you to Pat Guerra, Brian Tooley , Jannetty Racing and T&T Performance. Especially Tim at T&T for all the free technical support he provided close to midnight during the week and weekends.

I know I could have gained more with a larger cam. I didn't want to change the converter and I wanted to keep the car as close to stock drivability as possible. I was successful with my goals.

I'm going to try to take a photo of the before and after graphs and see if they will be legible.


Thanks.

Those are awesome numbers man. My gains were similar to yours, and I had the same exact theory. I could have went with a "bigger" cam, but I still made 498 with a "small" one, and the drivability is awesome. Have you opened her up yet?

My before and after
Before: cam/fast/full exhaust/cai

After:added TF 255 heads milled to 64 and NW 102mm tb.

If I swap to bigger cam there is more left in it. But I like the driveablity with the spinmonster cam.

Very nice.

I got the before and after graphs uploaded.

The before dyno graph was addition of headers before tune and after tune adjustment. So the baseline numbers are the Red graph (last run) on the first photo. A little confusing I know.

I didn't have no base line as it had my before mods when bought it.

What I meant was why did the pre heads pull stopped at 6,100 rpm? I'm sure it would have pulled higher with that cam and stock heads.
