I don't know. He had probably 50 marine motors there. I am sure many of them were letting him pic the cam. He could have stuck it in one of them. He claims the cam makes 510hp naturally aspirated on the dyno and will make over 600 with my blower. Desktop dyno says 566hp. Desktop dyno showed 594 with the 134561 cam I wanted.

that is the part I would have a problem with. I restore cars and I make recommendations but at the end of the day if the customer wants it painted pink and purple with lime green polka dots and the engine put in upside down and backwards that is what he gets. in my book the guy paying the bill gets what he wants not what I want to give him.

Optimist: The guys knows what he is doing and you'll be better off with his recommendations.
Pessimist: Builder says 600 HP and it's tested on his dyno, it'll make 600 HP. Will it be the same 600 HP on another dyno? Do correction factors work like that? Will it be run with your exhaust, and fully dressed?
I'm not trying to throw gas on the fire - I know where you're at mentally now and it's frustrating to say the least.
