Victor, just a correction the car did go all the way there and back but on a trailer, that would have been two thousand + miles round trip on the cars odometer not if I can help it.
One last thing so you can gauge what a difference weather makes and how you have to look at your corrected and uncorrected times. I will post the graph later when I get home but my uncorrected run 39 was almost the same as my uncorrected run 45 about 539. That is why the mph at MIR was the same as my best runs at Moroso in 73 deg weather.

Thanks for the correction... When I was talking to you and you were driving I just assumed you were in the E55 driving away.. LOL.. 
I think it will be smooth once the idle is raised. Once the car warms up the shake is very minimal its just during warm up that it is noticeable.

I am at the point where I am placing an order to make an initial run of these cams now that we have completed the testing. There are 8 spoken for so far.. I was going to do 10..
If anyone is interested in these please let me know now so I can get you in the production run.. It takes 3 - 4 weeks to get them so if I miss you now, it'll have to wait until the next batch.
We are looking at a $3495 price tag as we stand right now. The order goes in Monday morning so please let me know by then if you want in.
Thanks everyone!

Cams are a 4 - 5 hr job max. Everything is done at the top of the motor so its not too bad.
Pure custom work bud.. These cams were designed from scratch. Had to pay for the setup, the R&D to get the proper specs for the cam setup, etc, etc.. Add up all the costs and that is still a very fair price.. If I was making 20 of them I could bring the price down, but that is what I need to see to make it work for 10 sets.

I will be sending my transmission to Level Ten and have them fully build my trans and torque converter. If you want to do it too, maybe we can get a discount. Lets take it to pm so we dont ruin this awesome thread.

Guess this is what I deserve for not dynoing before and after my cam install, but wonder how much more power I would pickup by ditching the SLR's for these works of art.
Anyone ever dyno the SLR's/Kleemanns......same thing basically.
Great job V!!!!

could you help me to sum up asI'm thinking about modding my car from the cams instead than from pulley, as usual (I don't like a lot the idea of having all that problems of overheating, belt slippage ..):
1- the above result is on a bone stock car, without bigger pulley and no head porting&polishing and no Ecu?
..if not, what would be the outcome
2- what further gain with Port&polish+new springs+Ecu
thanks a lot, Bravo!
