Long tubes will be coming in time, but I needed to change my lifters, so I figured might as well change the valvetrain while i'm in there.

Anyway, what do you think the power at the wheels will be?

 

I know this is a gay thread, but no one wants to take a shot?

 

337rwhp/344rwtq

 

That much power without Long Tubes? Just a cam basically? You really think so?

 

Without the LT headers, I'll say 315rwhp or so...With them, 345ish to the wheels IMO...

But who really knows, so only one way to find out...

No LTs - 300
With Lts - 315-320

A good tune will help tremendously.

 

I'd say he's pretty close. You might if you are real lucky break 350 but i doubt it.

 

No LTs, 305-315, with LTs 325-340.

 

I know with lt's I should have about 360 because thats where they usually end up I was told... Doesn't the Hotcam give the LT1 like 300rwhp?

This cam has a much bigger lift and a longer duration plus its supposed to mesh great with the stock heads I heard. Am I wrong on this?

 

Oh snap, I thought you had headers. Here is my new quess:

310rwhp/330rwtq

 

around the 330rwhp mark

 

Man oh man I have to get this thing dynoed asap then. I am getting all sorts of guestimates... wow.

Hopefully in a few weeks or so, I have to get the cash for the dyno and the fuel involved... haha

 

at LEAST 345rwhp and comparable torque with that cam on stock heads and LT's. you can see ~360 with some GOOD tuning!

 

How many people have dyno'd 360 with that cam on stock heads? I'd contemplate switching if I didnt lose but 5 or so hp. my cam is a bit bigger than that, and I did nearly 360 with LTs and a Madz28 tune. As for a guess, without headers, I think it will choke that motor down too much I'm gonna say 310. With headers, I'll say 340. I've seen anywhere from 310 - 350 with a hotcam, its kind of hit or miss. Most are in the 330 range. FWIW, I made 300 with just a CAI and LTs.

 

i havent seen any 360's yet, so maybe by the time i get this cam in ill be one of the first Ill spend a full day at the dyno getting a tune and bring lots of ice for the intake. Keep runnin that bitch till it hits 360
