Cam only LQ9/LQ4 Numbers Well I just got back from getting my cam only 6.0 dynoed and tuned. It has a 232/238 .599 113LSA cam in it with full bolt on's and a 3600 vig stall. It put down 383rwhp and 389 trq still using LS1 intake. Do these number's sound good thru a stall and a 12bolt?

Not 100% sure as the guy that had the motor installed claims it came out of an escalade which would make it a LQ9. Im not taking the head's off just to find out,lol. Remeber this was with stock throttle body, a LS1 intake not ls6, with a single exhaust, no free mod's done pretty much just lid and exhaust and a cam with a 3600 stall. Does anyone know if there's a block casting to tell them apart, I have searched with no luck.

i don't know any way to tell besides the "feel" method which seems to be hit or miss at best. i'm doing a lq9 but i'm hoping for a bit more than 390rwhp
. what heads are on it(317's)?

well the mustang dyno def makes a difference. it sounds like you have a solid foundation. how does it feel compared to the 346? i'm assuming the torque must be a blast. congrats man

It feel's like its always in a sweet spot in comparison to the 346. It pull's much harder from a dig and in the mid range but in the top end isn't what I actually expected.

the heads are being done by what alot of people consider to be one of the best. they are getting a nice VJ blended with some bowl and chamber work. the runners are unported. the motor will be just over 11:1. i've been told by a few people that 440 should be possible. i'll be dropping it in soon so i guess i'll find out

Simple Quick Racing on of the best tuner's in our area for the LS1 crowd. I think true duals would surley help out a bit too. I just got thru porting the stock throttle body and im waiting for my LS6 intake to be shipped.Im thinking about doing 243 head's to get my compression ratio a little higher. It's gonna be sprayed on so it should do real good or at least I hope it will.
