Well its funny because I was at a local shop in Bowling Green and there was a Trans Am down there and all these guys were working on it. The car would not make power, they had tried 6 cams in one week!!! I told the owner of the shop to call you and order your cam. It picked him up 76RWHP!!! The people working on the car were shocked... So I would say a few went out of that place after that. Personally I have ordered 3 but I have sold a bunch! So I think I should at least get a ride in the fastest supercharged C5...

I still couldnt believe the 76RWHP gain from the cam. I need to find the PM he sent after the install and post it. He is a member of the forum.

Title : Procharged TA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well we got the ECS cam installed and we're pretty pleased with the results. I still think the heads are holding us back but he's satisfied with the numbers. Before the cam swap, 14psi it made 554 and around 500 torque. With the new cam it made 624 and 577 torque. Thanks for the referral.

Sorry I may have missed the numbers a tad 70RWHP/77RWTQ

People still don't believe my car made 426/406 with the ECS BLOWER cam, LT's and CAI. With the Novi it's just sick. I can't wait to have a forged 346 with an 8 rib and fuel system

This is proof of how much a kit difference can make on HP, the ATI TA kit has small ducting and twin intercoolers, if our C5 kit was at 14lbs the hp numbers would be well into the 700's. Being that 2003VETTE and 4DRUSH etc etc all have stock heads, the hold back in power is from the kit design, not the heads.

I know that was crazy! I would assume its either easier to do the cam install in the TA or they had the 2 piece front cover. If not they are absolutely crazy!

I'd be interested in seeing the specs on the cams that did not work....kind of a "black list" for FI....out of 6, at least a couple must have been real DOGS
