Lee, I have the Comp Cam XR269HR, 216-220 cam you mentioned that you had in a previous engine, in an earlier post. I really like it. My numbers are 376 rwhp and 375 rwtorque, SAE corrected and smoothed. I really love how the car performs. Did you have a higher stall converter, and deeper gears, when you were running the 216-220 Comp Cam?

His cam was larger than mine, but peak power was very similar. I probably have a stronger low end than that car did. Can't wait!

Great street car from light to light, alot of torque. One of those cams that they call baby cam. On the dyno my car was still pulling at 6500 rpms.

That cam really fills it in "under the curve". I really like it. And you're right, at 6500 rpm it's still reaching....great street cam!
