Doesn't sound like a big gain compared to other cams on the market.

There's your answer. Notice he says "already tuned" with the tbe, manifold, and ic hoses. Then it was redynoed..without tuning it for the cams themselves.

I doubth it only gained 4lb/tq, that sounds extremlly low. What were the conditions?

Tye one thing that really caught my attention is the fact that Turbo magazine tested the DC sport turbo manifold on a 03 yellow EVO and gained also 11whp and 4lb/tq.

So what should make more power in your opinion:

264/264 Cams 11whp/4tq or
DCmanifold 11whp/4tq

I just checked the article and the car was retuned after the cams, with an AEM EMS for the numbers I posted earlier. However it appears that with the cams only, the car was dynoed at 17.5lbs of boost. They added a boost controller and raised boost to 21.5lbs and picked up another 30hp on top of the other numbers. I'm sure the cams played a role in with the addition of more boost.
