Got my car back from Murillo after dyno tuning the FRPP hot-rod cams and holy crap does it run GREAT!

These cams are the REAL DEAL. Check the dyno sheet and let me know what you guys think. Strange torque curve but the car runs like a bat outta hell!

And I got up to 23 mpg on the run back down to austin.

Very nice man! Congrats!

nice man..so all you did was change out the cams? or valves and springs too?

Rubrignitz

Just the cams. these puppies run up to 6800rpm with the stock valvetrain. Verified by several 6800 rpm runs with the car. It was still pulling.

Strange feeling to get on the interstate at 60 mph, throw it down into 4th gear and run it all the way up to 6500rpm!!! I had an ear to ear grin all the way from SA to Austin.

so how does the "seat of the pants" feel? now that you have cams compared to when you were driving it last week?

Rubrignitz

Whole new world. Whatever he did with the tune, when I depress the clutch from speed, it hangs and REALLY slow comes down from 4k+ to idle with this freakin' mean *** sound! And idle is rough but the tach needle never moves. SOLID. And everyone around you stops to gawk! lol.

My neighbor has his kids this weekend but we're going to get some bad *** video tomorrow.

I wanted to get some tonight!

Unfortunately I have a core 2 4ghz computer but no scanner. I'll try to take another pic with my camera or go to the office tomorrow morning and make some scans with our canon DR9080.

Murillo FTW!

I can't wait to hear it. Sounds like Murillo is in my future. I just wonder if he could still tune them just as well with the SCT. I'd rather not buy a new hand-held.

What was the HP/TQ before and after? Do you know where you were before the cams were installed?

That's also some impressive MPG. I've been getting only 19-20. I used to get more but with my bama race tune I'm a few less.
