This thread shows exactly how much power the cams are supposed to make on their own:

The mid-range gains were the most noticeable, but once I added the CAI & VAFC, the top-end gains were very nice (it pulled to redline without that trademark fall-off in power above 8300).

Anyway, I think the cams are installed properly now, and making the same kind of power that I expected. I just think that the dyno is reading a bit low, and I think environmental factors are playing a role as well.

That is only true for part-throttle. WOT you will be able to tune and will notice a difference. Look at his AFRs on that plot and tell me that 12:1 is not too rich.

Too bad that no one has an air-conditioned dyno. I think most of the issues are heat-related here and it will be tough to get a good comparison in hotter weather.

Dallas Mustang's dyno is in a fairly temperature-controlled shop. I took the Prelude there one time. It took 'em a while to figure out how to strap a FWD car on the dyno, but once they got it figured out, everything went pretty well.
