A dyno comparison below showing the difference between an NS1 (dotted line) and previously Schrick equipped MCS owned be ChocolateAZ. Mynes reports ambient temp was greater for the NS1 pull; despite high temps the NS1 camshaft was able to produce substantial gains throughout the midrange, around 16 lb-ft of torque at 4k rpm. The effect mirrors my experience with this camshaft over the OE cam.

EDIT...nvm found the information on a different site.

Now I could be reading this wrong but while there was a small TQ gain was there not also a larger HP loss?

I know it was said that heat was a factor that day and that's understandable.

Im not the best at reading some dyno charts but I assume the HP loss is made up for by the TQ gain thus moving the powerband around?

The shrich only started to have gains over the NS1 at 6900rpms...and lets be honest, who regularly lives above 6900rpms anyways?

so the nitrostick lost 11whp, but gained 6ftlb, Peak. That wont sit well with some dyno queens. One should really focus on the AVG hp/tq to get a better understanding, because having all that power under the curve is what actually makes you quicker. 6ftlb gain for 11whp loss is an okay trade as far as i am concerned.

Note that the run was stopped at 6900rpms cos of the heat......it may as well make more power!!!!!

Without having heat generated by the SC to contend with, gains are more impressive. The cam designer is still holding some power cards and hasn't shown the entire hand yet.

And it does indeed continue to make power, if the Schrick had been run at the same temps the NS1 delta would have been a whopper.
