Possibly a little more work needed for the magic number

[fastbikes76]

well you have gained a solid 30hp and 30 ftlbs which in NA terms is a fairly decent gain IMO. Its easy peasy FI applications as that's only a couple of psi extra boost tops.

490 out an NA is nice solid numbers Did you have the car mapped again to take advantage of the new cam or was it a 'throw it in and run it' job ? I guess if i could crack 500 NA without having to go mental I would probably go that route instead of FI.

What is that in RWKW???

[ringram]

Or better yet rwhp.

Surely a rolling road measures power at the tires!?

Where is the wheel power, forget the made up flywheel number. Thats just bks.

BUT its good you at least got a before and after

Thats probably about 25rwhp gain

Which isnt huge. But then neither is the MF cam. What was your goal?

Thats only a 6% gain in power.

[monkfish1]

And circa 35+ torques more. Which is what gets you down the road

Whatever the accuracy of the FW numbers the gains are pretty much as expected.

[fastbikes76]

what is the spec and cost of the cam please (without labour).

Just weighing up all options.

[r8black]

Overall I'm extremely happy with the results as it sits. Would of liked to hit 500 but yes I love the different engine and exhaust note sound.

Its more about the way it drives, with the Cam change than the extra power

[bigunit00]

So is there any benefit from the cam upgrade and then sc/turbo it or would you not bother?

I went s/c then Cam, well worth it
Cam would need to be spec for N/A or FI, No ?
