Big claims I know but this guy does have a 6 second barra remember. At the forefront of barra development. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had him as a tuner on my old car. Good tuner at WOT, but anything else, nope. Dyno numbers mean stuff all across two different dyno's. What else changed between those dyno runs? probably a lot more than just "I put in better cams"... surely the tune had more boost, timing etc. Just the fact he felt he needed to post a single post on facesucks on this specific topic means it's probably designed to make him money or shift units from his "our spec camshafts".

I wouldn't want those cams anyway, as it moved the start of the power band from 4,000 revs right up to 5,000 and made the power curve gain height slower (e.g. feels slower). The area under the curve is what feels good in a road car, so the 577 isn't that far behind right up to 6,700rpm. Obviously after 5,500 revs the 677 is better, but how often are you going to be in this rev range 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im tempted to buy some since im rebuilding the thing anyway, maybe I should take one for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
