Dyno Results

Got to the dyno today to fine tune things and it went well, good power for a small 225/236 cam, of course the head work helped.

Looks like you had the same idea, that I am currently putting together. I feel like with the smaller cam and heads, it will be pretty close to the same hp, but with more torque and broader torque curve than what I had with the stock heads and huge cam. Along with better drivability and power/torque in every gear. I'll gladly give up some top end peak hp for more torque down low and more torque throughout the rpms.

Your car makes about 10 less peak hp and 10 less peak tq than my car did with the btr stg 4 cam on stock heads. Of course that can be a difference of having a different tuner and on a different dyno. I'll have my car tuned on the same dyno, so ill be able to compare my two different setups.
