    Nice, over 500 pounds/feet of torque from 2,000 to 4,000. Great street motor.

    Doesn't sound right. Considering the head flow and the cam, it should make peak power at about 6000-6300rpm's. That dyno shows it topping out at 5000. Anybody with a desktop dyno professional that you can put head flow numbers in? I edited my first post, the cam timing I listed is @ .050 lift, I didn't specify. That may have been the problem.

    To make 480 + hp you will need a hyd. roller,mech. or a mech. roller cam.
