After reviewing the logs and plotting out a MAF comparison it would seem even though my angles were different I still made the same power. My custom angles from 4000-7000 in my test were BOTH more advanced on the intake and exhaust timing. The overlap was nearly identical with a little LESS overlap (than stock angles) at higher RPMs. One thing is sure... the VCT definitely affected ignition timing tolerance. IF my custom angles created less pressure, than the car saw this and added more timing to compensate resulting in the same power output..... What do you all think?
This plot is a little excel program I created to treat MAF as HP, and calculate a torque line as well. I also have one that gets the engine brake torque from 2 logs and plots it out the same way. Blue is the stock cam angles and Red is the custom. HP and TQ lines. The conditions of these 2 runs despite totally different angles were near identical.. Every temp and also the fuel trims. For a few moments I thought I blundered and was looking at the same log lol.
I've read on these forums from a guy who swears that STOCK cam angles are the best after a lot of testing. I have yet to see otherwise in truth... but maybe I need to get more radical to see a difference in power or is it pointless with axleback and a 4C as my only mods...
