Default FINALLY, good numbers..

For those of you that remember, I had an intence cam thread a while back because the z06 cam that was in the motor was causing probs, well I pulled the whole damn car apart again and here is what is going on now..


Comp cams 222-224 561 lift, headers, ported throttle body, patriot stage 2 heads, 465hp and 425 trq.. A6 car.

I am happy with this, but here is the kicker, I have a nitro dave plate on the car, and with a 55 nitrous jet (about 125 shot) the car made 600hp and almost 650 ftlbs at the wheels..

Needless to say I will be jetting it down even farther so it will live.. I was blown away with these numbers, considering the best it made before the cam swap was 398 hp and 378trq,, 510 on the bottle and about the same trq.

well until I get the 18's and dr's I just bought on it, I am thinkng dyno queen, it went 11.30 making WAY less hp, about 150less, but it does not hook on the 19's anymore on the bottle.

I picked the cam myself, the idle is choppy, I have it set to 675 in park and in gear. It has exellent bottom end, and pulls like a frieght train. I think I got it right this time. Stock converter.
