Whats the best lt1

[fastTa]

I was just curious because most chassis dyno's are only setup to measure 1,200 rwhp.

There are eddy-current type engine dynamometers that can measure up to 3,000 fwhp, but they are very, very expensive to use. I looked into having my motor done on one.

Just curious if they actually measured the motor or just hypothesized using cam specs, headflow numbers, cubic inches, compression ratio, etc..

roots style with 22lbs boost and about every thing done to it but no bottle all throtle

but my key quiestion is what cam should i run in the lt1 to give me a good lumpy idle and some good kick with out going over board. I want to run in the high 12

I can definitely recommend a cam for you. Just need to know how big of a stall you can live with?

A 239/245 cam sounds righteous, and has a nasty top end but you need at least a 3000 stall on the street.

what r the cam specs on it / who makes it and what other mods do i have to do to run the cam oh y aim running the t56 ( i dont what to go to to nuts its going to be an every day car

[fastTa]

239/245 duration @ .050" / .577",.576" w/ 1.6 RR's / 112lsa
I believe this a shelf grind from Comp Cams.

To run this cam you will need headers, at least 3.73's, computer reprogramming, moderate head porting, and 30# injectors.

Thru a T56, good head porting, and a good tune, 460 rwhp is not out of the question. Trust me this baby screams for a hydraulic cam and has a wicked idle!!

r u running this in your car????
do you have a vidio or sound of the car idling and drive by??
If i was to run with stock injectors would it work intell i have the money???
how bad does it hurt the mpg????

[nochopsticks]

man i can find that cam any were in comp or crain

[fastTa]

This was the last cam in my 97 WS6 before the molesting began.

We played with about 3 cams within a 1 1/2 month period so unfortunately I don't have any video of my car running with that cam.

But here is an almost identical cam as far as duration and lift but this cam has a little less overlap and therefore a little less lope.

Streetable that cam if insain im not looking at a race car i just want to give it more kick with out killing my gas.

[fastTa]

You define your version of streetable and I will suggest an appropriate cam. Sound good?

[nochopsticks]

well streetable is about 400hp decent lump but still be able to do long hauls. Im going to be getting the heads port matched and the chip done and 4.11 rear gears.

It sounds like you would be happy with something like this:

Comp Cams TN224XL Camshaft 224/230 duration @ .050", .536"/.544" lift with 1.6 rockers, 112lsa.

This cam will provide plenty of vacuum, low end power, and street manners but still has a decent lope to it.

[nochopsticks]

about what would be the hp abouts and is there any mods what should be done to it to help it.

[fastTa]

4.10's, head porting you mentioned, computer reprogramming, and headers. Your stock injectors would be marginal but might be close to 100% duty cycle.

While these mods are not absolutely neccessary, they will all compliment each other and make your run much better.
