Here's a buddy's 383 built on a Dart Iron Eagle block. Vortech S/C, air to water intercooler, Brodix heads and intake, Lemons custom headers, MoTeC M8000 engine management, 8 LSx coils..... In a 1997 30th Anniversary SS convertible.
1,350 HP at the flywheel. Car ran low 8's at 166+ MPH.
I'll delete this so it doesn't interfere with your thread.... just thought you might be interested. I'll try and post a vid of it in action.

Nice! Engine compartment is definitely tighter than my car. Post some video, don't worry about deleting.
Things just keep going wrong, creating delays. On Monday I heard something in the valvetrain. I had the shop that built the engine order a couple small parts. They showed up Wednesday. They were wrong. On Thursday they were supposed to ship the correct parts for delivery Friday. They forgot. So today I finally get the parts and get it running. I need to get it above 150 degrees so it will go in closed loop mode and the ECU will start making adjustments. As soon as it got above 150, it started running much better. Engine temps are good. It was 100 today and it ran about 170. I didn't turn the fans on until it got to 180. Now that it ran for about 30 minutes, I have an oil leak or two. I'll work on that tomorrow. Here's a video from today. :beers:
Just a loud clatter as opposed to the nice sound similar to a sewing machine.
Nothing as satisfying as the sound of a solid roller valve train.....
I run the Crower Severe-Duty Cutaway solid rollers. Nowhere near the cam specs you have, but we wanted 7,000+ RPM for the nitrous..... split personality engine, able to pass emissions for street driving, plus a 300-shot
Finally got the car tuned today It did not make the power it should yet because of two constraints. First is no intercooler. The car will have an intercooler after the chassis work is done. Any intercooler I do now would need to be done again when the strut front and big tire back half are completed. The second is the boost. When the kit arrived I ran the numbers on the pulley's and I was afraid that the Procharger would be building too much boost down low, and it is. Anyway, here is the video. At the beginning the tuner is just loading the car and checking the response. Because I only had a start up tune it blew all kinds of crap out of the exhaust when he first whacked the throttle. The pulls at the end didn't do that. The first dyno run happened around 2PM in Sacramento, it was 95 degrees at that time. Without the methanol the intake temps were 230. This wasn't on a full pull, it was a preliminary no load pull. With the twin nozzle meth system it dropped the temps to 190. Still high. With 14 degrees of timing it made 700RWHP on a Mustang dyno. The dyno chart is from the first pull with 9 degrees of timing.
Put the Camaro on the chassis dyno this morning and it made 31,221.95RWHP!
The dyno actually showed that, but of course it was wrong. We never did get a good number. The owner said that some higher power cars make so much vibration in addition to interference from the ignition that the dyno has a problem. To dyno a friends car they had to move the computer outside and wrap it in cardboard and seat cushions. That car made 1,400+RWHP. They updated the dyno recently and the cables are too short to do this now. Here are a couple attempts. The car is extremely loud at full throttle. I don't realize it because I'm always in the car when its at full throttle. I recently moved the intake air temp sensor so it was reading a true value after the methanol injection. The intake temps are about 100 degrees cooler than what the other sensor read. That's why we didn't go for a number when I ran it last time. Now that the ECU has the real temps I'm ready to see what it will make.
The billet intake/intercooler setup I ordered in January finally arrived. She is beautiful. It has a second set of fuel rails and bungs so I can run methanol if I want to try to run in the 7's. It was the same price with or without so now was the time to set it up to go faster.

That must've cost in excess of 6K! That's a work of art though. I'd buy it lol
Ordered through who?
The new intake/intercooler is on and the engine is now running. Had to change a ton of things to do it. The new piping from the blower to the throttle body should be done in the next couple of weeks.
