That's a 12 second car for sure. I give him high 12's with the headers, intake, and dr's. I'm guessing around 115 also. Take it to the track and let us know.

No, it didn't give him 100 hp. However, cams on LS1s generally give a ~ 40-60 rwhp gain.

A number of guys in cam only LT1s trap 110-115, but magically a cammed LS1 only traps 110...

For your reference, the fastest cam only LS1 traps 128 mph and there are a bunch of cam only LS1s in the 120+ range.

110 is the low side of what I'd expect out of that cam. Guys generally trap 113-116 with that cam on a moderate setup.

Robvas' buddy doesn't have cam and it sounds like his car is pretty slow, trap speed wise, for a bolt-on LS1. I ran a 12.7 @ 110 in my bolt-on LS1, and my car wasn't anywhere near a quick bolt-on car (guys are in the 10s @ 120+ with bolt-on LS1s). 115 isn't uncommon for small cammed LS1s, but rather the norm.
