Re: Most Powerful Cam with Regular boltons?
XE230/236 has a smaller lift then the XE227/233. The 230/236 is much more peaky but the 227/233 has a much flatter curve. I was told that it would result in better track times. I dunno, thats what I told (honestly).
I have heard numbers like 360/360 at the wheels with the CC306/GM847 and LT's with untouched heads. Numbers very similar to the 227/233 (But lower) which is a smaller and much more streetable (FROM WHAT I READ!!) cam.
But I have to agree with the custom grind. I heard you just can't go wrong with it, if you explain your situation good enough.

Re: Most Powerful Cam with Regular boltons?
If you wanna match the setup all up correctly, cam and springs etc.... tune the snot out of it and put some Mr Gasket or Impala gaskets on it, the standard bolt ons etc... I think you could see some SICK hp numbers over the 360rwhp range. People used to do that with ported heads that still had stock valves and the standard cams, now they are a good 40hp more than that. With the right setup you could see some silly numbers. Somedays I wish I had a LT1, but then I remeber I could get low 12's just tweaking my LS1.... I know guys sorry to rub it in. I'm really working to get you boys some high 400 and 500rwhp cars so the LS1 guys shut up.
