Then you're just doing it wrong. You have to tune the low end if your secondaries are gone. My dyno is smoother without the secondaries and can out torque the traction of 235/40/17's in first and second gear without man-handling the clutch. Nope, no torque here...



I have to jump in and remind all involved that this may be the case without SVT cams, but WITH them?

All the dyno's show that the stock duratech cams do equal to or better down low than the SVT's do; and that is WITHOUT all the xtrude hone, TB, exhaust and other stuff. Comparing stock cams to SVT cams with everything else equal, the SVT cams trade low-end for high-end. With the SVT cams you get a benefit with the secondaries in and no sacrifice to the top-end. Its a win win situation.
