Solomon.... Your tq seems a little low to me with that cam or is that about normal?

I'm not too sure what's normal for these cams. What do you think it should be?

[Muddflap]

I was thinking they were around 425-430. I'll have to look them up in a little bit and see what I can find.

[SolomonAKOO]

For the Vengeance Kaotik? I'm not sure. I'll have to see what I can find as well, maybe I'll call Ron and see what he says.

I just saw one car that was 470/429

[Muddflap]

My car with headers and cai did 407tq in high Texas heat and humidity

[SolomonAKOO]

You have a link for that one? What were its mods?

At the risk of the whole "a dyno is just a tool" debate I'll share that my Vengeance cam which is a litte less aggressive than your Kaotic put down 461 rwhp and 440 rwtq. What was your baseline tq if known so we can see how much gain? My bone stock baseline was 378/385 so I ended up with 83 more HP and 55 ft lbs of tq.with he cam/bolt-ons. That difference in gain is what's important to me vs. the final size of the numbers.

This seems right where u should be! I'm guessing their Stage II cam???? What I use to have and was in the same ballpark as you are!
The KaotiK cam should be slightly more!

Yes - it's the stage 2. I shared my stats to illustrate the point that a Kaotic with more than 20 ft lbs of tq less than mine just didn't sound right. No concerns about mine. It runs great and hits hard.

Solomon, I'm not wanting to raise alarm or cause you concern. Just sharing my experiences to give you a reference point.

I dont have the baseline tq #'s but my hp was 379 and i didnt get it dynod after i installed my LT's so im not sure exactly what just the cam made. Ill get all this over to matt@FSP, hes the one thats been helping me with the tune. Maybe he can figure out something now that he has some numbers to work with. thanks for the input guys!

I'm sure he can find out if you are leaving anything on the table and get it straightened out for you.

[SolomonAKOO]

Yeah im hoping so, i just emailed him the video and sheet so i hope that helps him out.

thanks for letting me know though, i thought the torque numbers were a bit low but i really didnt think too much about it lol i was just happy to finally get on the dyno since its been almost 2 months since my install.
