Well yes but then it wouldn't be a "huge" cam on an LS1.

I didn't mean something that would choke up a SBC, I meant something that would choke up an LS1 with questionable head flow quality.

I pumped out that much HP with only a lid. That's a 99 with an auto.

He needs to get new numbers and scan the sheet and post it here.

A large cam alone should push him well into the 375rwhp-ish range... Something is wrong there.
