What is my HP and torque........

Please check out my signiture and estimate my HP and torque at the wheels and possible 1/4 mile.

I have CC roller 1.6 rockers and LT4 springs but they are not installed yet, gonna be a spring project.

Please give estimates before and after the rocker install.
Thanks

Re: What is my HP and torque........

a dyno will give a much answer than any of us but i'd say around 290-300rwhp and a 13.4 1/4

Re: What is my HP and torque........

Im going to the dyno after the rockers are installed.
Im just looking to you guys to provide a best guess.
I just want assurance that he hard work is paying off.
I really do appreciate it.

Re: What is my HP and torque........

you should have gone with 1.7's if your gonna keep the stock cam for a while. You might pick up 10rwhp. Maybe.

There is work involved with putting 1.7's on an LT1, it isn't just a bolt on mod.

I would agree with maybe 10hp, it isn't going to make very much of a difference with the stock cam, but its a good thing to have when you start trying to make some real power.

Re: What is my HP and torque........

Im going with the 1.6 cause I hope to do the LE1 in the future.
Anyone else have estimates on performance before and after the rockers?

Being as you don't even have baseline #'s to compare to you're gonna see as big of gain as you want. These posts are really useless IMO

Re: What is my HP and torque........

I dont consider the posts useless. Many guys are running my setup and have actual testing at the dyno. I just want estimates from the people with the experience.
I dont have any base lines to work off of and when the RR's are on I will go to the dyno.

Re: What is my HP and torque........

You would see 285-295rwhp (before & after) If you can drive you might see 12's. I would expect Low 13's.

Re: What is my HP and torque........

Stop modding your car, GO BASELINE IT, then get started. I've done nearly all my power mods on the dyno, piece by piece.

Re: What is my HP and torque........

Find a different dyno, or wait until there are group dyno days, then you'll get them for ~$40 to $50 a pop.
