saw a dyno today of a rev-up.

Bone stock dynoed around 240rwhp according to the shop.

Added:
exhaust, headers, S7 cams.

Result was 261rwhp 250ish torque.

I know it's vague, but it gives everyone an idea. You can't hear at idle at all though...probably because of the stock cats as well.

With or without a tune? If he didn't have a reflash then there is no point to the cams. Cam timing is crucial, especially with headers and exhaust.

So the ecu flash can control cams or not? I need to find this out before i go for a magneti marali or something like that. if the stock ecu flashing can retard or advance cams then i am good.

If im reading it right(was never good with cam profiles) they added overlap for the C8 cams which are a turbo application right?

Eh ran into a delay with one of the heads again. The machinist called them the heads from hell. But I think im picking it up monday or tuesday of next week. Then with a drive back home then a road trip it should be broke in and ill dyno it untuned. Then tune it and dyno it on the same dyno. Local dyno pull costs me like 30$ or something...

Well when the piston came apart it hit the sparkplug and pushed it back out, so the head got an insert put in it wich was really hard to find because for some odd reason 350zs use longer spark plugs.

Well I picked up my car today and drove it 450 miles. You can not tell it has cams in it at idle. It idles like stock. Im breaking it in so i can only give it like half throttle to 4k rpms or so. I did give it half throttle at 3k rpms in 2nd gear going around a long curve and it broke the tires loose. I also gave it half throttle in 1st gear from about 10mph and it spun the tires, went to 4500 rpms. Slowly giving it gas the cams come on right about 3900 rpms, the engine seems to just want to pull really hard. I cant wait untill i put enough miles on it to really try it out.

they're not that loud and/or lopey at idle at all though. One of my friends had it installed about a month ago, and you couldn't hear it at all as he still has stock cats. With my 3.5" downpipes, I could hear it...but still not too loud. You have to REALLY listen to it to know it has cams.

You're right as it idles and drives really smoothly. Hopefully we'll see how it changes the VQ powerband next week.
