Car makes 376 HP and matching TQ...

on a 17" DR, 1.62 60' is my best, 11.76 @ 117 MPH... should I be expecting more with a 3610lb car with a half tank and me in it?

Have a 236/240 110.5 LSA cam, Yank ST3500 stall, 3.73 gears...

The reason I am only making 370 HP is cuase I'm floating the lifters and I can't get the TC to lock on the dyno.

My can was a 224/227 .563 .569 114 lsa with some home ported ls6 heads, and a 3600 vig. unlocked. I also have ls7 lifters from ac delco and i run 7,000 with no float. Are you sure you are floating the lifters? How do you know this? Usually its either valve float or lifter pump up. If you get the ls7 lifters they take high rpm a lot better then ls1 or stock lifters.

What maf are you running? Hope it isn't stock. If you have the fast intake like your sig says then those openings on the tb is 90mm and the maf is 74mm. I run the 85mm truck style sensor and even then you should go bigger. I think someone offers a 100mm billet maf meter.

If you do end up going to a set of ls7 lifters put a cheap set of ls6 heads on ther if you don't already have'em

Yeah, I have a stock MAF sensor. I do have a ported fast 90 and a 90mm TB

I have patriot double springs, my tuner says the car is floating the lifters, and garentees me thats the issue.. they are stock with 118k on the car.


I want to do lifters, and heads at the same time... but, I have a 98 so i'll need coild brackets and vc's too.

My ls7 lifters were cheap, look into those. I have the same springs as you, they are great. And when you do the lifters,heads, do the maf end then as well. I do have a ported set and a polished set if you are interested

If you do get a ported set make sure to tune it as well, it will change the tune when you bolt the ported ends on.
