just had my car built. I'm running ported stock heads, 1.6rr, beehive valve springs, forged 383, 36# injectors, ported intake, (stock tb for now), k&n cai, and xfi 280 cam. I was just wondering what kinda power it should put down after a good tune. there arnt any dynos around where im at.

X2, depending on flow, port velocity(sp), etc will really make or break you.

Did you get a flow sheet, does the shop have experience porting LT1 castings??


Your not giving us much to go on....

closer ballpark depends on the head porting-who did it and what the specs are. An LE2 package from Elliotportworks advertises 370hp+ depending upon the cam, so these guy's estimates above are probably about spot on.

I'd agree with 375-390, maybe as much as 400?
