LT1 "cam only" dyno record
 
What is it? My friend dyno'd 369.8 STD in his 97 t/a. We'll get the SAE numbers to post. I have yet to see an LT1 dyno higher "cam only", standard or SAE. At any rate, if it's not the record holder then what is? Because I know there is about 15 more rwhp in my friends car.:D

Who was this?? What kind of cam? I've seen 360ish rwhp cam only LT1's.

There have been a handful of 385-410rw cam only solid roller LT1s over the years.

That's what I wasn't sure about. I knew that there had to be higher dynoing solid roller LT1's.

So he installed a Cam only and got 120 RWHP? I find it hard to believe a car gained 50% of its power with just a cam and no exhaust or supporting mods.

No rational person would ever make a claim like that. "cam only" is a loose reference refering to the only major internal modification. "Cam" cars will also have the supporting mods (ie. rocker arms, valvesprings, etc..).

I think "stock head" is a lot more accurate term that is usually used for "cam only". Good numbers though:thumb:

I would imagine that since your friend is the guy with the CC306 right. I can imagine that the GM847 would make more power than that.

Cough, cough....title is NOT cam AND lifters only....:p


BTW, I'm not sure if it would of made more power with the 847. I love the cam but it might be more effective with port work. My friend Terry has a 91 Z and makes about 520 hp with it. His heads are lightly ported GM L98 castings.

420+ RWHP I'm sure. There was a thread awhile back with some guys stock eliminator cars and I'm pretty sure 423 was highest.

Ok, Then it's official. 369.8 STD is the highest dyno reading for a "cam only" street legal LT1. The last thread, people gave me crap for saying it. I have done the research and cannot find anything higher.

Keep thinking that. Comparing STD to SAE is pointless.
