I chatted w/ David online and this is what he said about the cams:

David- They are fully forged billet blanks.
I honestly can't think of a higher quality cam on the market.
These are up there with the best that Jun or Toda have to offer quality wise, but with a better profile for the U.S. Evo 8 in terms of street performance. Those two mods (P2 and cams) are the biggest bang-for-the-buck power adders

P2 + cams + aperture + exhaust = FQ330!

P2+Cams is approx. FQ300, but in a perfect world, when you add something like the P2 (pushing more boost) and the cams (moving more air) you also want to bring more air into the engine (Aperture) and give it a place to go after combustion (Exhale series). It is not life or death to do everyhting at the same time, but it is definitely preferable.

Hope that helps...

Did someone foget the dyno sheets? Peak HP is what it is... nearly worthless if developing it significantly narrows the power band (often the case). With no curve to examine or acceleration data to consider, what use are peak values? If there are some charts on another thread I have yet to see them. BTW Vishnu posts acceleration figures for all of their stage pakages. I know works products produce results the question is what do these results translate into on the road? Hey guys strut your stuff. I really want to rip up that Mustang Saleen before they take away my car and put me behind a walker.

Not that I would really expect anything else from Works. Good news. Good expected news

Nope. I just havn't had a chance to pick up the dyno sheets and data files from Works. If you go back and read my first post on the topic, you'll see that I intend to scan them as soon as possible.

I'm sure that we'll start seeing all kinds of performance data once people have had a chance to track the mods.

To clarify for a poor soul who didn't get it, Shiv's dyno seems to read really "low" compared to the "norm"... it was a joke and the only reason the name was even mentioned.

Word. I'll make you a deal. Check back on Wednesday evening and you'll have a baseline, and P2+Cam+Throttle+Exhale dyno graph.

I'm picking up all the info from WORKS that afternoon.

As far as I am concern... The package, P2 and WORKS cams is amazing! Very linear powerband and pulls... And pulls ALL THE WAY TO THE RED LINE!!!
I went to Motorsport ranch yesterday (Texas), with racing slicks and turned 1.25's!!!!.
Next mod, Sway bars and camber plates for the front.

FYI, Pete and Brice have answered all my questions and I am VERY HAPPY with the cams. Thank you pete, thank you Brice!

Hate to be a Texan who asks, but what are "1.25's" comparable to? I've not had/made the oppertunity to make it out there.
