curious on hp/times

I was just curious on what kind of hp and times to expect from my project.

Here's what i can tell ya:

LT1 93-97 motor , p&p aluminum heads(intake matched) with bigger valves (1.6 rockers)with flow #'s of around 270/190. CC306 cam - (car will be dyno tuned) March pulley system, 3.23 rear posi, 30 lb injectors, SLP headers 1 3/4, 52mm throttle body, Aluminum driveshaft from a 99 camaro ss, stock crank, stock pistons, The trans is 700r4 auto , and some decent weight reduction.. no ground effects, fiberglass cowl, this is a thirdgen camaro that this is in, so i don't know if this car is any light or heavier than the 4th gen.. But just curious on what kind of times / HP to expect from all the money ive been spending.

This so far in my memory is all I can remember that i changed, thanks for your info guys

I would hope he would see a bit more than 335 with a cc306 and some worked heads, I'd say mid to low 12's if you can drive it.

Oh, and you can put a 700r4 behind an LT1, you just have to have the bracket from a 93 camaro/firebird to hold the kick down cable.

I know you can bolt on a 700R4 but why would you? The 4L60E is just as strong and is electronically driven by the LT1s PCM. You would also have to rig up the overdrive solenoid on the 700R4 or manually push it for lock-up. then that kickdown cable was always a pain in my experience. the TPS eliminates all that with the 4L60E. I just think......if you have the PCM........you might as well have the electronic tranny. but thats just my opinion.

I have a T-56 tranny out of a 4th gen on a 1st gen 355 so yea it can be done.
Dont scrap the tranny, mess around with it, it'll be awwwite.

well since you already deleted it off the computer than stay with it cuz 4L60Es dont come cheap I would imagine. ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR........if you're really trying to go fast, plan on adding nitrous or what not, get a TH350 transmission. 10 times stronger than any 4 speed automatic and way cheaper. no retarded kickdown cables needed. Its only got 3 gears and no overdrive but them trannys are tough as f***! and the aftermarket for them are wiiiiiiiide open. 3600 stall converter, tranny cooler and keep the 3.23s and HOLD ON!

cool, thanks man, yea money isnt a problem, it just takes time to get the money , but i have time I'm going to run the 700r4 for only one summer though, and i wont be beating on it till next summer =p lol.. so i won't even have this trans in there.. i actually plan on buying a new tranny, instead of one from the newer camaros, probably the one you mentioned... Any how, still open for opinions on HP/ times from everyone , thanks a ton also blaze.

What do you mean if I can drive it, do you mean because of my setup, or just literally if i can drive it well?
