Question Scott Performance Turbo Cams - Who is running them, wheres your dyno!

Just trying to gather some info on the Scott Performance Turbo cams, Would like to see the gains and a dyno plot to see what they do throught the RPM range. If anyone out there is using them I really appreciate your help, Thanks!

Scott's cams are FI cams, low overlap, high duration. That's what you want in FI! It'd be nice to know how high the gains go on the rpm range.

I am still puzzled by Dastek dyno plots. How can you properly tune a car, if you are only given 8-10 data points, and the rest is extrapolated?? Any irregularities in the power curve will be masked by the extrapolation.

That is weird, how can you accurately see the powerband, hmm. Does it do it only on the print out version or is the actual screen like this aswell.

This is the print out... The screen of the dastek dyno is actually different than this throughout the duration of tuning.

I'm pretty sure that it's justa barebone printout...it has continuous resolution when tuning.

I wonder why the dyno operator can't print out a full resolution graph. 500rpm increments doesnt cut it.

Interesting fact: Dastek makes the UNICHIP as well. http://www.dastek.co.uk/unichip.htm

Can you eyeball 4 degrees of duration.....it's pretty hard but makes a big difference IMHO. Did you measure them at all? Just curious.

I was thinking the exact same thing. And there is no way to determine the quality of steel used in making the camshafts, the longevity etc. I am certainly not knocking product made in China, but it's very disturbing that others are knocking off USA product, in which companies have spent thousands of dollars in R&D time and effort, in order to produce products for the VQ35 community...only to have them replicated in China.
