BTW on my dyno sheet my power tops out at around 5500 rpms, which is good for me. If that helps at all.
Looking forward to that review. I bet you're getting anxious to test those puppies out lol.

Actually, if you're reaching the peak at 5500 rpm, then i think MHS's stage 3's should peak just as soon...if not a tad sooner. The lift and duration are almost identical, but the ICL is much more aggressive which will bring the power on sooner, and have stronger mid range power.

What i think is funny is the fact that the MHS stg 3 cams are recommending no less than a 4.30 rear gear to accompany them and youre saying that the power should come on sooner than the hitech stg 2's and i dont think that they recommend less than a 3.73 gear for that.

I know what you're saying, but i wouldn't take that with a grain of salt. The specs don't lie.

It's like when they talk about "operating range" lol. It's kind of misleading.

No not really...just cold. Just waiting for the salt to get off the roads and such. We'll see what the weathers like in a few weeks.

We only have like an inch on the ground now. So not much snow
