Off the top of my head i dont know those numbers,

Butt dyno tells me i got more mid-topend TQ. Just think of my gains as the opposite of Kenso's, more TQ than HP. I think that a good 10-12 WTQ peak is in order after a tune, and probably around 5WHP. Usually to feel a gain in this car the gain has to be substantial, so it should be no less than 6WHP/6WTQ

Im looking forward to the sub 230WTQ

Wow--I'm excited for you! Shoot another video if possible
Those cams are a steal for the gains that Kenso has shown.

No, it is a quick way to check the cams.

Yeah because you aren't checking for duration, lift, overlap etc. just if the cams are the same. Gottcha.

Hey C, why is it that bottle showed 15% increase and n/a is ~ 7%?
Anyway like Cole said, 300whp is bad a**!

the nitrous is why it showed 15% increase, the nitrous allows him to burn more fuel more efficiently, plus with the cams and port work his air charge is much much better than without the cams, he can utilize the flow to hsi advantage, great #'s DV8

I knew those cams would be nice along with the nitrous. That's cool that you hit 300 WHP .

If you factor in 17-20% drivetrain loss, that's between 275 and 285 HP at the crank. Torque would be around 270-280 as well. Nice NSX killer you got there!
