Default Engine Masters Dynosim: interesting result inside

I recently setup a computer in my garage for tuning and misc work. After looking at the desktop I remembered that I had the dynosim program loaded on the computer. I booted up the program and plotted the AFR 205 flow bench data and compared cam profiles with both heads. I decided to run a program that analyzed cam profiles and yeilded the greatest HP under a preset RPM band. The computer spit out a very interesting...
242/250 111-112lsa. This cam is basically the same cam that Thunder is selling. The cam definitely shows top end potiental. Comparing the actually dyno graph to my program output is pretty close just a few hundred RPM off in one direction.

Are you comparing your TEA heads to the AFR heads? How much actual and calculated difference was there?

I have not plugged the data in with the TEA heads. I was more looking to see what my next cam selection will be if I stay with an all motor car. mid 240s-mid 250s ....

And I thought my 230/236 was big!
Then again, I see in your sig that you're reving up to 7500! With my 98's stock bottom end, I'll stick with my 6600 shift points thanks!
