Default Highest Bolt-on RWHP #'s???

I swear I've heard of bolt-on LS1s in the 350s - 360s. What's the highest #'s you've heard of?

Thanks.

You definitely have, 360+ (even 370+) is not at all unheard of for a full bolt on 6 speed car...autos will dyno a little less (330s - 350 max usually).
The highest I've ever heard of was just under 380rwhp though some have claimed almost 400 (not likely).
Proper tuning along with all the bolt ons will help of course.
This is just F-bodies, C5s (and especially Z06s = 400 with bolt ons is very possible) will be slightly different.

I've got my money on the Hurc.


The Show Off Pilots
An F-111 was flying escort with a B-52 and generally making a nuisance of himself by flying rolls around the lumbering old bomber.
The message for the B-52 crew was, "Anything you can do, I can do better."
Not to be outdone, the bomber pilot announced that he would rise to the challenge.
The B-52 continued its flight, straight and level, however.
Perplexed, the fighter pilot asked, "So? What did you do?"
"We just shut down two engines."

it doesnt take too much to get 360's but for some reason when your int the 360's theres not much that cna be done with boltons to keep oin pushign them up...it seems that way atleast....it works out nice tho especially if you get some internal work after those boltons youll REALLY feel it

On a stock internal when you run out of bolt-ons to go faster you have to resort to "Bolt-Offs" weight reduction is your friend !

Yeah, in that past thread - I believe the highest I saw was 373 and seemed like another with 371. I was trying to reach 370+ and remain 'stock internal' and I am right there - but a cam package from TSP is only weeks away now. Ha!
