Max HP @ 5500 - 446
Max TQ @ 4500 - 468

Very nice torque curve 414 @ 2000 --> 468 @ 4500 --> 426 @ 5500

Actual cam specs (12-430-8) from Comp Cams Cam Disk

Looks like another overestimate by Desktop Dyno.

HP 430+ @ 5500
TQ 450+ @ 4000

:cool:

:cheers:

I was estimating 425 HP and 440TQ with a wide flat power band. Looks like I was pretty close maybe even low. I hope you guys are right. I can't wait. Just dropped her in last week. Painter should be done in a week then I can start putting her back toghether. Thanks for the help.

The roller lifters make that the numbers are not really accurate. Read the manual, for all cam grinds except for all out race select normal flat tappet lifters, even for rollers.

I am afraid to total it all up. Ha Ha Ha. I know its over 5K in this puppy. Big ticket items were internally balancing, retro fiting the roller cam, and aluminum heads. Come to think of it everything was a big ticket item LOL. Oh well how can you to no to the one you love LOL :crazy:

Adjusted numbers using roller cam specs (12-430-8) w/solid flat tappet selected to factor in a more realistic valve acceleration rate:

Max HP 421 @ 5500
Max TQ 447 @ 4500

Still 400+ TQ from 2000-5500

Thanks for providing those specs however it is not a solid lifter roller cam. It is a hydaulic roller cam. Can you run them again. Thanks in advance.

Understand your cam is a hydraulic roller but as Twinnie mentioned in a previous post, the software vendor recommends using a solid FLAT tappet lifter type even though its a roller cam to provide more accurate valve acceleration characteristics for a mild street performance roller cam.

The specs used are perfectly accurate for your cam because the manufacturer's (Comp Cams) cam spec file was used in calculating the effect of the CAM characteristics. The overall result was "tweaked" slightly lower by selecting a solid FLAT tappet lifter type instead of a hydraulic roller lifter type. The software assumes a very aggressive valve acceleration rate more appropriate for full race engines rather than street engines which if used skews the result too high.

Ohhh I get it. Thanks for the help looks like my original guess of 425 / 440 tq was pretty close. I really appreciate the work. Best wishes.
