Mine before cam



After cam



Your results will vary. This was also with the addition of a Magnaflow catback that gave a dyno'd gain of 7hp.

loose boost? yes the guage reads less but you actually gain power with less pressure leftbehind in the intake manifold.

you have to understand boost is a measure of pressure in the maniflod, not the cylinder.

Whoa, wait a minute. There's 110 hp/tq in PIC1 (Maggie I'll guess). Then I see another huge jump, I forgot how much.

+36 TQ @ same R's.
331 HP @5250
405 HP @6250.

What is it @ 5250? Dought! My bad. It's showing a peak.
Kinda different RPM peak. I need to check 3rd pic @ 5250 for a more apples - apples comparison. But it's scootin for sure.
I just relooked @ this.
So, I am seeing this right. Yes, it's making power higher up(405). The old peak (331@5250) vs 5250RPMs now appears to be ~381HP. So, @ same level, you added +50. Right?

vs. my stock cam, I was able to make more power at a higher rpm also. I had to shift a full 100 rpm earlier before. The gt2_3 did make a huge difference. I was making almost 450rw with that cam.

ding ding ding.....we have a winner.

losing boost, but gaining power simply means that the motor is working more efficiently. Add more boost again, and you'll see the motor make even more power.

The biggest advantage I saw with the cam swap was the ability to add more boost efficiently and make more efficient power and being able to stay up in my power band longer.
