BTR stage 4 cam question.
Had my ls3 cammed ,BTR stage 4 NA cam,car dynod today. Even though it put out decent numbers felt like they were low for how big the cam is. I mean I'm okay with the numbers for the most part because the car pulls hard I'm really just curious. Car put down 445 whp and 412 torque.

Dyno numbers are deceiving due to the fact they are impacted by many factors such as weather conditions and altitude that's why you'll see different numbers from vehicles with similar mods.

Yeah i would have to look at the dyno sheet. I'm not too worried about it considering how the car runs and what I've raced. Just bothered me at the time because i was expecting more lol.

I'm aware that's why I asked. I think the general population gets concerned over 10-30whp thinking their car is somehow messed up not understanding that every dyno reads differently on top of other external factors. Track times do the talking.

My son just did the BTR stage 4 in his LS3 - FRS (Yes, FRS - he is a drifter) with shorty headers. It did 503 on a dynojet
I just did a Texas Speed Stage 3 in my 08 LS3 with long tubes and it only did 450 on a dynojet (stock on the same dyno was 393). I am a bit disappointed to say the least
