that much of a intake CC that those prob have would prob still benefit from a even larger bore 4.060 range on that 4" stroke
could prob save money sell that ls3 setup look into AI 236cc head swap intakes to cath head super vic intake try your cam and maybe make another 15-20 hp

you def have something going on with that motor..i would get a custom cam done for it..that much comp,ported heads and everything else..leads either cam was wrong or stall,gearing an such.,you should of been spinning it 7600rpms also to take adv of them ports..
what was the full combo..stall,gear,tires and weight? you have a good suspension and parts in it?

your Lunati cam should work well in the 408 you plan to build, but it was too big on the intake duration for the 370.
The Patg cam has a weird intake lobe which I think was restricting the combo's potential. the square port heads on a small cube engine needs short duration(which it had) but an agressive intake lobe to get the valve open wide quickly, and the intake closing point has to be in the exact right place as well. Calling a real cam expert is the way to go.

I NEVER tell customers to switch to methanol to gain power, you switch to methanol to gain round by round consistency in any weather. You will gain some torque, but to say you will pick up 3 tenths is quite a stretch..

test, test, test..
You need to make laps to go consistently fast..

Something was very wrong with his gas combo then...

How many gas to methanol swaps have you completed?
How many back to back on track test results do you have?
I simply said, I never will tell one of my customers to switch because he will go FASTER.. You don't switch to methanol because you are wanting to go faster..
On a boosted application, different story...
