Thanks

I believe Sixspeedinc's car still has the record at 470+ rwhp/400ish rwtq on several dynos through a 9inch Demonicbird00 was last dynoed at 456rwhp/408rwtq but has done a few more bolt-ons and should be in the 46x range. You need a 24x/25x cam to achieve that kind of power.

I had a similar thread not too long ago. Seems like Joe's car was the winner at over 470 from Six Speeds, Inc.

There are a few guys out there making 450+ like Thunder Racing's T/A that made 453 or something with the TRex cam.

I got all excited when mine made 449 uncorrected but it dropped to 436 corrected.

The question is, to what interest is this info to you? Are you looking to prove to someone that cam-only LS1's can put down lots of power? Are you looking at possibly having the highest cam-only car? Are you building yourself a cam-only race car. Usually with the size cams that are used to achieve this type of power, they arent very street friendly and really suck to drive in stop and go traffic. 240 duration cams should be reserved for cars that are freaquent at the track and dont put on alot of street miles.

I am pretty sure my old TA was the highest with a stock ls6 intake. Woulda been nice to have done a EWP and vacum pump just for fun.

^^A pump that pulls vaccum from the crankcase therefore helping the rings seat better and reducing windage, usually good for 10hp give or take.

i believe joe from 6 spds inc has the "cam only" record. something like 473whp..he had a custom 244/250 cam. it's funny how these vendor cars with "stock" heads that have all been apart make such better numbers than anyone else. i would void all cars that have had the heads removed, but that's just me.

You seem like the typical "use the search button" dick.

I wonder how much power I could gain with a T-Rex cam?...

You should watch your mouth. Like people have stated looking through 16 pages of info is not as easy as just posting. Maybe you should follow the advice in your sig.
