Say no to Off The Shelf (OTS) cams.

I think it's odd that he thinks the cam is so great. 17hp and 4ft/lb is close to a margin of error for dyno runs. The real difference as he himself said is traction. If you can't get traction, times can be all over the board.

Traction issues were not resolved during either test session. They are being worked on right now. Once resolved, then there will be an even bigger delta in ET from the second test to the next one...

Besides... the extra MPH surely shows the cam helped the truck accelerate...
