94 Z - Looking for Mod Input

Hey Board-

I am thinking about dumping more $$$ into my Camaro. I have made some mods and would like advice on what you think should be next. I have a pretty good idea that it will be better headers or cylinder heads. I would like to be at around 400 RWHP (ideally), but am will to work to get there.

Here is what I have:

94 Camaro Z28 M6 - LT4 Hotcam kit / K&N FIPK / Edelbrock 1 5/8 Headers & Y-Pipe / Catco HF Cat/ SLP 2OTL Cat back. Also have other stuff: ported MAF / TB Bypass / Madwolf programming / LT4 KM / Airfoil / 4.10 Rear.

Cars current numbers are as follows:
Dyno - 308.8 RWHP (Dynojet)

Track - 13.615@103.73 w 2.05 60'
On BFG Comp TA 275/40/17 tires

So what is your opinion as to what I should do next?

Thanks in advance...Advice is appreciated...

Those are really low dyno #'s for what you got....and the track times are close to stock

Believe it or not...

Antz-

Believe it or not, the fastest of my first (mostly stock) runs with this car was 15.2@91. I added the headers and dynoed 264@ the rear wheels, then added the hotcam for the 308.

The track times seem to be my driving for sure, but the dyno #s have me doing the head scratch.

I have heard the headers are killing me... I also want thr power that the heads will bring. If I am gonna do all that, I might as well swap out the cam and springs, right?

Gotta go with some Long tube headers, the difference is unbelievable. Believe me, I just had hooker coated shorties, and went to Jet Hots 2 weeks ago, and the difference is huge. I'd be willing to bet you gain 20 rwhp by switching the headers and go to a hooker 3" off road y pipe. To get 400 rwhp you'll need some well ported LT1 casting heads and something like a CC306 w/ LT headers and 3" catback and of course the other bolt ons that go with all the bolt on stuff. That'll put you right there at your 400 rwhp mark.
