I bought a 70 camaro with a LS1 6.0 block from a 04 truck and they put 853 heads on it and a gm Hotcam. The car should run real strong but does not. I think its probable in the tune but wanted to get a idea if they put the wrong heads on that 6.0 block. Any ideas?

10.5:1.

I would bump to 11:1 but that just a bit more (7hp) up top. Is it Tq that is missing down low? It will pick up a bit there. Those heads aren't the best choice but a future move to ETP's -215cc- will get you up 40hp more.

it shouldnt "not run real strong"... a cammed 6.0L should straight haul ***. Either its very choked up, poorly tuned, or you've got nerves of steel from driving the 454 cars...

Maybe you are right. I have a 68 Pro touring Camaro with a 496 that runs 11.4's. Still the 70 should go good. If its not the compression I will have them look at the tune. I bought it complete and they used one of those small Delphi computers that turnkeyengine sells. I have to send the computer to them to get it tuned which sucks. I thought about scapping it but will give them one shot at tuning it. I would guess that the car runs 13.5 to 13.8. I think with the combo that it should be able to go high 12's?

From what I've read, the Hotcam is not the easiest cam to tune. I'm thinking that the problem lies there.
