I need schooling - old vs. new engines

My gen III is all motor and makes somewhere between 650 and 700 HP. It has the most radical race cam Comp makes for that motor and it doesn't really idle that lumpy.
I don't have my hands on the cam specs right now but I think you are spot on with the LSA at 114. I do idle it quite high for racing purposes and there is no VVT on this motor.
Take a 5.7, put Eagle heads on it Raise compression to 13.5:1 with custom pistons, put a cam and a stroker crank in it and this is the output it gives without power adders.
I also have a decent hi rise racing intake and a Holley sniper 4500 EFI on it.

I would be curious to hear what your cam specs are. If you get a chance to look them up.

I did do some digging on the Comp website and the biggest cam I could find for a non-VVT Hemi was a Stage 3 cam with 277/284 advertised duration, 224/234 duration at 0.050 lift, 0.632/0.619 lift and a 115 LSA.

But you can't be making 650+ hp with that cam can you? Seems like a pretty small cam to me. That's smaller than the 380hp crate motor cam, duration wise.
