Links please!

Show me what NA record they have broken? Show me what cam only record they've broken? Then I'll take back what I said. Peak dyno #s don't win races.

So things and opinions don't get taken the wrong way I go by track times since I only drag race. If that cam works for you thats great what matters to you is that you amd only you like it. I base my opinion on track #'s.

Where in my post did I say records or races? Even if I did that is even more imprecise as dyno numbers since you would need the same driver on the same day on the same track in the same conditions etc. The most important mod is the driver mod. While the VVT cams may be better in certain situations, that does not make the NF bad or a poor choice for the OP.

Its proven that it can perform well. If it didn't perform well people wouldn't buy it; and people are buying it. Times and dyno numbers:

Thanks for the links. Now maybe I'm just a picky guy lol but I saw a bunch of low 12s and high 11s. I understand why and the reason the times were not so quick. I admit its one of the nicest sounding cams out there but not impressed with the times. Camarojt ran a 11.91 @ 101* weather this pass summer with a stock cam. Maybe we need a good driver to make this cam shine? Idk I'll stop picking at this and still stand by my personal opinion.

ET gives the best estimate of HP correct? I dyno'd 498/470 at lethal on a cool evening, had my IM ported and then dyno'd again 5 months later on a warm afternoon (80-85 degrees) and made 474/441 on a different dyno. My best ET to date was 119.6 with a horrible 2.3 60ft. I'm 250 lbs and have 75 lbs of speakers in my trunk. Where does that put me? I feel like with a better launch and without bogging, that I could hit 120.

At full weight, with my wife in the car with me, on the stock 20's with Pirellis launching in 2nd gear, I trapped 97.xx in the 1/8th at 50x rwhp in 2000 da. 97 in the 1/8 for me is about 123-124 in the 1/4.

Oh I wasn't trying to be a smartass! I was legitimately wondering what kind of power my car is actually making. I wasn't expected such a big difference between the two dynos.
