You guys should be proud, Last year at a portable Dyno that was at a Firestone Tire store--With a CC-501 212/218 cam with the listed mods below, i just put down about 291 rwhp --The only difference now is i stepped up to the CC-502- I would like to get it Dyno tuned, my car apparently has issues--Dwayne

 

i put down 267/304 with longtubes and more mods then u. ur numbers are right on or more then i expected.

edit: 260/298 ha not a bad guess, just noticed that this is the thread i replied to yeserday.

 

yeah we make up for it at the track alright. Any street race ive ever had in this car car has been complete murder, all against manuals too. I can dead hook with my setup on the street and I'm gone...

 

That's all you need to know!

 

I don't know why but all of the corvette LT1s were rated at 300 HP, the 92 LT1 in the Vette was rated at a little less torque 330 lb ft vice 340 of the 93-96. I would believe that the differences between the various years of LT1s would affect the HP rating but not according to GM. Kind of makes me wonder why they made the changes if output remained the same

No changes were made that would affect performance except for the 96-97 style dual cat y which added "10 hp" according to GM. Output for both engine is the same because it is the exact same engine except the corvette has 4-bolt splayed mains but so do some camaro's. Seems a few 4-bolts found their way into factory camaros/firebirds.

The corvette was rated higher to entice people to spend extra money and to try to differentiate the corvette lt1 from the camaro.

 

Your power seems about right to me for what you have. Unfortunatly, us LT1 guys have to do a bit more than bolt ons to see big dyno numbers. Also, as previously stated, being an Auto, those numbers with some good tires can still equal a good track time. If you are looking for some serious power increases you need to look at doing more to the motor (ex. heads, cam, tune ect.), if thats not enough, you can always spray, or spend a few thousand on a blower. I have seen a guy with a CC306 cam, and an otherwise stock motor with pretty much the same bolt ons as you run a 12.0 with his Automatic. (He also had all the suspension goodies, and some slicks). The point I am trying to make is, don't let the numbers get you down, there is always room for more power, and even if not, you can still run respectable times without huge dyno numbers.

 

Thanks for the encouragement. Yea im doin heads/cam in a month or so, so I will keep everyone updated on how that's goin when the time comes...

 

of course there is something to be said in the parts you use as well. Not saying anything against the parts you have used.

 

I dynoed only 30 rwhp more than you and less torque. My car ran consistant 12.6@108

 

Well half the stuff in my sig was already on the car when i bought it. I probably would have NEVER bought the Throttle Body, Granatelli MAF, or MSD 6AL. AND since I'm in Cali, I have to keep the shorty headers. And if I ever get my car dyno tuned, the Granatelli MAF will be replaced with a stock unit. I've got a question though. Are my AFR dangerously lean?
