    So i shouldn't worry about the g/cyl then? Mines a stalled auto too through a 12-bolt with 3.73's.

    my car put down 364 on a mustang dyno with a very similar airmass, so the airmass is fine. what is not fine is your setup, as i achieved the same power with a z06 cam and stock headers. might wanna look into the mechanical side of things, as they're definitely not in order.

    I really didn't think it was all that bad going through a stalled automatic with stock heads, 3.73's and a 12-bolt. But if you and others think so then maybe i need to start looking at the mechanical side of things.

    Honestly, that is not the best cam to look for good power anyway. My 230/232 makes more power than the MSx cams that everyone nut hugs. Getting a cam with a good grind helps. If you don't care, then leave it, it is not that big of a deal

    Say what you want, but he knows his shit and had done well for my friends and I in the past. I have spoke with him quite a bit about cams and cam design and he is very knowledgeable.
