Default cam only question

I have the money to do a cam swap finally and im wanting around 410whp. im looking at getting a tsp cam package, oil pump, and timing chain. I drive the car only on the weekends and have supporting mods already. torquer v2,v3, 233/239 or tsunami? maybe a custom grind? thanks for any help

nice the curve looks good too, have you taken it to the track? hows it feel going down the road, would you take it on a road trip still?

It's not to bad, i was thinking i was going to have to go with lower gears but it does really well out of the hole. It was a big surprise! I'm very happy with this setup.

I run the Torquer V2 with 5.3 heads, and 4.10 gears, and it's a fun combo for sure. OP, don't worry about a certain dyno number. The last dyno I was on I put down 405 rwhp with the mods in my signature, but I run with a lot of 450-500 rwhp cars. If you REALLY want to know how fast your car is after the cam then take it to the track

Yeah I think I saw that thread earlier lol! It's amazing how many people chase down a certain number, and don't factor in the types of dynos, the variations, etc...

OP, a full weight cammed LS1 will usually trap around 112-115 on average here at my local track. That's what i've seen. The ET can vary a ton based on driver, suspension, weight, tires, track DA and prep, etc, etc...

400rwhp cam only is tough unless your on a happy dyno. A torquer 3 with a fast intake and full bolt ons might get there.
