Way to go Rob!!!

Rob states:
The cam is a great performer and very docile on the way home
from the track
132mph trap is the same as many other cars nearing "600rwhp" More proof that chassis dynos are for internet marketing. This is what a true 600bhp looks like.

Chassis dynos are a tuning tool PERIOD. too many people use them to enlarge their head.

I guess being a big name like Katech gives you the license to basically call the other supporting vendors on this forum liars.

What? Where did you get that? I have had as much as 60 HP difference on chassis dynos with all other things remaining equal. Chassis dynos are for tuning, Just like jason said!

Katech upgraded my car but it has parts from LG, MTI, etc. Some installed by Katech.

Furman and Ranger did 130 and 129.5 mp/h respectively on a stock cam and car. Me, Carlos(Myhardtop) ,Jorday ,did 134.5 and 133 mp/h and 132.8 mp/h with a bolt-ons car stock cam. A bolt-on car should made what 40-50 rwhp more than a stock one ?

Yes I think 40-50 rwhp are good for +-4 mp/h in the 1/4. I know all of us have raced is stock cam with a good DA.

But again any cammed car never proved to be better than a stock one in the 1/4 in my sens with the same weather condition.

That's my opinion

Thanks.

Tires Are Extreme Drag BFGs 295.35.18 on aftermarket 10.5 inch C-5 Z06 Rims. I am not certain this is the correct tire.

I am going to make some passes with the Mickey's next week as the BFGs will break loose if I shift or launch to hard.

I will post the results.
