There are quite a few hp calculators. Drag times app is a decent one to use

FML I heard back from Rhino on a VVT cam install. Needless to say I can't afford it haha. Oh well, I'll go the LS3 route eventually.

I see his frustration tho, there's multiple members talking about it

But I do have a question about your NF cam. Is it 1 spec on all the ones you sell? Or change them on every car? Reason I asked theres a bunch on here with 1hp up to 60hp apart and idles differently all say they have different specs etc.... I agree with nalide it hasn't proved ANYTHING I don't see records getting broken by that cam IMO they are trapping Bolt-On car speeds and I have not seen one NF cam hit lower than a mid 11. Still no driver no car has shown that this cam is a proven cam. They sell yes I see that but its all a HYPE to boost sales. You show BIG dyno #s and others show 30hp less then what the cam c;aims to make. I am not flaming either just stating what is shown on paper. You guys build some of the baddest 5th gens out there I just can't say the same of your N/A setups.

Calculators? Can't show a real life Time slip?

Mid 94 I believe. I've got to try and find the slip. I just got 3.91s, so I'm curious as to what that'll help. I'm sure it'll make my already atrocious 60ft worse since I'll spin more.

Not saying VVT is bad, but I definitely don't want to look for a needle in a hay stack if I need to have something fixed or looked at.

Lethal is actually great at tuning VVT, Shawn knows his shit, hes had an epic amount of training and def a lot of experience. Just like Lethal and Ted arent the only people selling regular cams, Rhino isnt the only one capable of tuning/selling VVT, it just seems that way on C5

The ls3 conversion is more than the vvt cam.

Lethal does great work indeed, but they are not none best for VVT. I would like to see what VVT car they've done break record or make numbers no-one has. Rhino seems to be one of the VVT guys who has done this right. Where I live we are lucky to have LMR they've been doing VVT builds left and right but they don't mention it here no record breaking cars tho other the C7 which is VVT. As far as Ted, well lets not get into details.
Funny thing is most sponsors here will say there's a limit to where VVT needs to go and that is false you can make 600, 700, 800, 900, over 1,000rwhp using VVT but no one wants to try.
