Since you've already got headsets I'd say you would see a pretty nice gain from some good cams. You're at the point where the next mods are pretty expensive lol

At the rear wheel? 20 of that was headers ill assume. So 50rhp gain from cams? That's equivalent to 1RHP per $21.00. After performance shop does install and retune. Triple that cost if your talking flywheel HP. What was your torque gain?

I would realistically think 30-35 HP from just cams.. I'm probably going to cam my GT next week with FRPP hot rods. I don't have LT's so it'll be interesting to see what I gain

I'd finish your exhaust. Offroad Midpipe would be my next mod.

I have high flow cats, xpipe and pypes violators. I wanna say 340ish torque.

Plus you don't need phase limiters, they work with the stock VCT. They were designed to work with a fairly stock engine.

I didn't need phase limiter either. All stock workings
That is IMPOSSIBLE without heads. If you do not have heads, you did not gain 70HP from FRPP cams and LTs

Do the high flow cats pass state inspections? When I do exhaust that one thing I would love to change out.

I promise you after I got those installed and tuned that IS what I gained over stock.
Where is your dyno and list of mods?
FRPP cams and headers will NOT give you those gains. WILL NOT. SC cars barely touch those numbers. This is an instant where the dyno did, absolutely, undoubtedly lie to you. Even as a tuning tool, if would be wrong since the before and gain difference would still not be 70WHP.
Dyno and/or slips.
FRRP Cam and LTs are good for about 35-45HP at best. If the car was not tuned before thismthen maybe 50-55WHP in the very best scenario on this planet we call Earth.
"Over stock" would suggest you were stock, then added cams and LTs plus a tune. That means you would be around 330WHP, that with just those 2 mods over stock, you CERTAINLY would not be.

Look, you can say that all you want. I'm not an expert on parts or engines, but I am certain of what I got from my stock HP to getting cams, changing my exhaust and adding a CAI. I could read the numbers on the computer with the before numbers then the numbers after the install and tune. I would happily admit my engine was poorly tuned resulting in lower 'stock' HP if that was the case and being the second owner that is a possibility considering how adamant you are that it is impossible.
Exactly. I am telling you, your car did not gain 70 HP from cams and headers. Period.
The dyno may have SHOWN that. But the car did not gain that. Not to mention you've added a part since your initial claim. You first stated 70 HP over stock with FRPP cams and headers, but now there is an intake involved.
Where is this dyno sheet? Did you "lose" it?
