done with non sponsored cars or AFR heads? or guys that were already near the threshold and just added say an lsx intake or something? i dont think any of the new round of cams have broken the mark besides a one or two. im refering to n/a 346 - 348's btw.

i meant new h/c setups, i already new you've been hovering around the 450rwhp. im looking for a new combo; any of the new line of TSP cams, the FM13/14 cams, x4, Y1, ect.

your so close cant you blow on your car and get that measly 3hp

Jerami - I think you're car is next in line to break 450rwhp.

id like to put stock wheels and stock driveshaft in and see if i can get 455

it better be . i was just curious to be honest, the forum is littered with guys wanting a h/c package to get them 450rwhp butt few ever reach it.

i miss the Josh and Scott (gomer) days of dyno racing

Yeah I would like to see some more combos too.

Hopefully, in a year or so I'll be in this range. I'm looking at the F13 and TEA 1.5 5.3L hand finished heads. It will be a lot like Josh's (Damian) setup, but I'm going to run different bolt ons and probably some other stuff a little different (cam specs and valvetrain). I don't like copying, but it's a great setup and I haven't seen anything that will have the power and drivability for the price. And besides, everyone can't have a different heads/cam setup, there's only so many out there.

And I can't afford a forged setup or a complete engine like JRP I feel like the next best thing is a good heads/cam setup. If I had the money I would get TEA to work some LS6 or AFR heads. But so much money

With the heads that TEA and Brandon Aders (same guy who hand ported Damians heads) did in this thread https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...light=whoopass

A local guy here in Tampa did 478 rwhp on a stock bottom end 346 vette with approx 10.5 to 1 compression with the T rex cam through full exhaust and no belts removed. FAST 90 MM intake as well. These heads were also less than ideal for this motor since they were originally setup for a 4.060 bore with 2.08 valves. It was also the intent to use a sheetmetal intake for these heads due to the raised runner. As it was he used an LSX 90 mm intake that was port matched as good as possible. Lots were left on the table with this setup.

With 12 to 1 compression and the correct intake along with the correct intake valve size and chamber setup i would have expected this to be over 500 rwhp easy.

i remember those heads, they were ******* killer . thats gotta be the highest H/Trex combo i've seen. Do you know if Fireball ever got his squared away?

OT but are there any new devopments on cams coming down the TR pipe line? its been almost a year since the Trex was introduced.

gomer

LOL, I actually had more fun dyno racing than I've been having with the car since I stuck the 12 bolt in it. I'm working on a combo right now that should put up some good numbers thru the 12 bolt. It is still about a month or so away from being finished though. Waiting on income tax money to buy the 90mm stuff and do it all at once.

Who is Brandon Aders? Does he work at TEA? He obviously knows how to hand finish these heads with the best of them, and I would like to be able to talk to him.

Hey Jerami, im going with a f13 and a set of the ls6 style heads from ffhp. I hope i get close to 450, but i think it will be more like 430. I still have the stock 10 bolt w/ 373's and i will put the stock wheels back on if i have to, lol.

JRP: we did a set of our stage II's with out 234/242/110 cam and it put down 451rwhp through FLP headers / FLP cats and Magnaflow exhaust. This was back in August. CR on this one was 10.6:1 and a daily driver.

EDIT: Forgot to mention this was through a Moser 12 Bolt with 4.11's...

Well.... go to one of those places that give instant refunds and get busy!!!!
I've always enjoyd the reading of you trying so many cams and having data to back it up.

The last update on my heads still had them about 3 weeks out too, so it should all hit at about the same time. I'm really surprised we haven't seen a whole lot of 450+ cars with the good heads that are out now, the big cams, and the FAST intakes. My goal this time is 470 thru the 12 bolt.

jrp

iTrader: (16)

the reason for this thread .

somehow i dont see your car having a problem hitting 470rwhp through the 12 bolt. im hoping to hit that mark through my 10 bolt, who knows though.


- good stuff mikey, seems you guys at rapid make great power with stock or slightly above stock compression.

Where do you dyno at? I remember talking and meeting you at Steele,Al about two years ago.

I use Walker Dynotune in Trussville now that racetech has sold theirs. I've used Walker in the past and have been doing his LS1 tuning for a while now.
