I seriously wish I would have dyno'd after we tuned my 226 cam just to show that the bigger cams do indeed make decent power. I dyno'd 304rwp at 5900rpm on that cam. Did some street tuning and gained 2-2.5mph in the 1/4 with DA calculations so I knew it wasn't a weather induced gain. That would mean i either picked up 20+HP or some TQ somewhere. The truck was perfectly drivable, didn't stall, drove better than stock even at part throttle and ran like a raped ape for my mods at the time. 14.29@97mph isn't too bad for a cam only 4x4 ext.cab.
