Pat, the first cam was a VVT cam (DOD stuff we ditched from the get-go),

The MAST cam was nice, sounded killer, and would perform very well on an NA stalled auto.

I think the phaser and stuff is OK, maybe we are just a little behind on the technology...I know New Era is working hard on lining it out, and if anyone can nail it down it will be them. If someone figures it out we may return to a VVT cam later, but until them, I had to get the car back on the road, so we went with this.
Brad,

Boy you have been through a lot! Can you post a dyno chart, curious about how the low end torque is.
So I have this question, …if you could have done twin turbos (not rear mounted) for the same money, would you have preferred that over the supercharger?
Anything else you might have done differently?
