Will wait for actual 3rd party results on the Gen3's. Not a single example so far, just spotty dyno info without specifics needed and no Gen3 installs yet. Not bashing, just too expensive to shoot and hope.

My experience is that no one installs a camshaft unless they are going for max effort. This is definitely not a casual upgrade and usually not the only upgrade folks will do. With that in mind, it is hard to really get "good" dynos because you will have intake and exhaust mods to take advantage of the camshaft changes. So I doubt you will find many people dyno'ing just the camshaft and nothing else. The info on the articles was really helpful in my opinion.

that torque curve is awful lumpy. Shame about the rather significant drop-off below 5300RPM.

yellow 2016 5.0 totaled white 2018 A10 now
Trying to make a coyote with active VCT chop is purely novelty and nearly pointless.

If you want to run some big lobe custom spec locked out cams and no VCT thats a different story........

Only information I can find on the cams. In this article they only tested the Stage 2 NSR Cams from Comp. It's also on an engine dyno, but gains were 39.9 crank hp, but they didn't indicate the gains at the wheels. So my guess would be about +25 hp at the wheels, assuming similar mods.

On a side note, the articles kind of jump all over the place and are hard to follow. There are gaps of missing information and the pictures and captions do not seem to be in alignment with the sequence of events. The editor clearly missed the ball allowing these articles to print in this manner. Lol

Edit: I found another article that mentions the Stage 3 Cams are the one's that added 39.9 chp not the Stage 2. Again, lack of consistency in the articles.
