Well first off....you should just ground yourself, and just be happy if the car runs smoothly. Based on the past attempts...cams have NEVER been easy on this car. Don't be to concerned with sheer HP right off the bat. The cams may not make a ton of power.

Next, when you do get the car finished, and the dyno run complete, try not to get hung up on 300 HP. If your car puts down 280 or 290 that is still a HUGE jump over the 250 rwhp your car put down originally. Sadly we will not know how much of that was due to your cams only, and how much might have been due to new timing chains.

(by the way...does anyone have any idea how much power can be robbed by stretched chains on the LLT????)

Lastly, as Jason pointed out before, it looks like you car was dyno'd on a Mustang dyno. Ever dyno is different, but these tend to read lower than say a Dynojet dyno. You might only put down so much on this dyno, but if you have another shop near you that uses dynojet, you may put down more on that one. You should ask the tuner if he has ever had a completely stock Camaro automatic or manual on the dyno and what they put down.

I would be shocked to see you hit 300 on this dyno, but I hope I'm wrong
