Get an LS6 and you'll put down 400. I've got all the bolt ons except pulley and I put down 397 in the middle of the summer.

yes I know the intake I will pick up a bunch but I am aginst buyng the ls6 when I really want the fast 90 setup .

Only reason I started the thread is someone said they thought I would be 430RWHP if that is the case I would be very happy but I doubt it

F13 cam is ok

get some good heads and intake and this setup will be great. I just did 473/441 with this cam. With all the right mods and good tune, I see no issue with this cam puting down 430 cam only, you just dont ahve all the mods needed for it. I would think you would be solidly near 375-385 if the tune is good. That LS1 intake is going to kill it. Definately has potential though

Well I got my car back and it feels great .

The # 's were 371RWHP and 365RWTQ .

I am happy with that there is still room for improvement I still have the ls1 intake and need a pulley that should bring the # up a bit .

I will try and post the graph a bit later

Is the car tuned as well?
