that might be the 5 1/2 cyl run and i'm not sure if i removed the muffler at that point. (pretty sure it was the gimp run)
i remember at one point i took the muffler off (pre cutout stage) and i had a cracked spark plug so it ran like crap.
i'll see what i can do for a recent drive by vid by myself. gotta find a good road where i can set the cam up so someone won't steal it.

Well it made 202WHP and 203TQ this past weekend on a wobbly front wheel.
Not to bad for the duration of my camshaft.

What are you basing your number off of?
Dave's 3500 was putting down 275whp and 257wtq and that was with is VERY radical cam, so with a 206 duration cam and the lift Robert has I think his tq number is just fine.
The thing that suprised me is even running up to 6400 approximately we never found where the power starts to drop... I'll post a few pulls to show that too.
