It's alive!!!

It's 16 hours to do really.
But I only use 114 LSA. I have done a couple custom sets with 110 LSA. But I like the 114 for driveability and idle.
Do you want stage II w/ or w/o tri-flow.

Just to check. in case I have missed something here:
Stage II cams (without triflow) in an otherwise stock S4 should net around 330 RWHP which equates to around 400CHP (assuming the dyno above is accurate and 18% loss through auto)? (A 25% ish increase!)
Are these great numbers or have I totally messed up with my understanding and/or the maths?

Myles,
If the dyno is accurate (which will be confirmed this coming week hopefully), then yes that is correct.
The stock S4 cams are extremely small, and restrictive. The GT(/S3) are better, but still overall very small.
These grinds are massive, some people were actually shocked that the car idled...... but the 928 handles them beautifully and idles nice, and even passes emissions with ease (no air pump on either car).

I doubt I can make it down before the 20th.....
We could do the cams shortly thereafter though. I could come down, for sharktoberfest, then do them at your place right after.

Ok another update.
I got an otherwise stock car onto the dyno today.
My assumptions were correct that this dyno does read a little on the high side.
But that said, over the stock car we still saw a minimum increase of 45 RWHP and 50 RW Ft Lbs. The tri-flow added more mid range. The nice thing is that at NO point in any of the RPM band did we loose ANY torque or ANY HP it was all gains.

I opened up the covers on my car with the cams in it yesterday.
All the lobes were perfect. I have many miles now on these cams and there is no signs of pitting, or damage of any kind.
I installed these camshafts with lindseyracing valve springs, and reused the factory lifters. Engine has around 250k MILES and the lifters are original with no signs of wear, or further problems.
