Am I reading that wrong or did you gain 21HP and lose 2 lbs/ft of torque? odd, but radical cams pull all the way through the power band, which stock cams will not. Needless to say, it is only inefficient, pointless, and dangerous for your stock cam'd/headed car to rev high.

My tune is still all screwed up. Everyone said I should not have lost power down low. I have another place to get a better tune, but I need to do some more work before blowing another 500 bucks on another custom tune.

I would not set the rev limter over 6100 RPM. And like everyone is saying, you don't even need to rev that high.

You only need to rev high enough that when you shift to the next gear you are still in a good powerband. Other than that, there is no reason to rev the crap outta a stock cam'd N/A GT.
