Cranky, is your ported intake a FAST intake (SpinFAST). I assume when giving your CAM specs, your LSA is 115+2 and not 155+2 as stated in post #7.

I'm porting stockers for exactly 4 more days then I'm shutting down the porting to move on to graduate study at a local university. Tech support is still free and I will give any needed support to customers who bought from me.

Sorry I took so long to post the dyno sheet.

The car was dyno'ed on a mustang dyno and with 3.15 gears. Compression is stock at 10.9:1 while optimum would be about 11.4:1 (use .045 cometic gaskets for this) on 93 at sea level which would bump power 7hp/10rwtq and about 25 more rwtq at 3000rpm. Keep in mind Auto's dyno less and this car doesnt have a FAST intake. Its really a great cam. The XFI lobes mimic bigger duration by increasing lift at intake valve positions closer to the seat. It doesnt have really big lift either. A FAST would also sustain a higher forced peak HP rpm closer to 6300. The stock LS2 peaks near 5800 or so due to runner length. For this reason average HP climbs with the FAST (another reason its a great mod for drag racers).



As you can see the low end TQ doesnt suffer from poor low end as some may think a single pattern cam would be. It doesnt have that funky 'big cam dip' between 3000 and 4000 rpms, maintaining its 390rwtq From 3200 to well past 6k on a 'lil ol 6 liter. Coupled with his 3.15 gears, he should see great acceleration light to light taxing any street tire. With a MT ET street tire, it could be a 10 sec threat. I'll guess 0-60 is 3 seconds with the MT's.

Its actually a great blower cam with -6 degrees overlap which makes it near stock driving with barely a lope and zero issues at cruise.

A6 cars bumping compression with a stock converter should run 11.5:1 compression but with a 115+0 grind. If you use a 3200 stall the 230/230XFI 114 (or 115+2 for 0 degrees) is a better cam and still 2 degrees overlap....still a good blower cam.

This package is a prime candidate for E85 which would add about 15hp/20tq to the wheels and not tax the fuel system. All it needs is bigger injectors.

Hope this one finds a home in a daily driver and makes someone smile.
