Default how good is revextreme

i was looking on rev extrems page and seen a post were they said that with their custom grind cam, underdrive pully setup and headers that an lt1 would make 400whp, is this possible, sounds a little high just for a cam but maybe i am wrong, what kind of numbers have your guys seen on lt1 with just cams, and lts

Well 400whp with a lt1 with stock heads is not impossible, but its not the norm.

Check the LT1 section, there are alot of guys over there that can answer this question for you.

I do know of one guy who made 390 something with a GM847 and stock ported heads through a a4 and 12 bolt, so it can be done.

Chris is 1 of the tuners there. He knows his sh*t. Tuned our 02 z28 with a 408ci only made 415whp, but We (My dad and I) ran a 10.97 @124mph with a 1.42 60' all motor at BMP!

Talked to Scotty, and let him know that there was a misunderstanding... that cam/exhaust only 400rwhp is for an LS1. Not sure if he misread, or it was miswritten.

Like he said above me, that's not going to happen with an LT1. My LE2 ported heads that flow 282/200 and a small custom cam made 405/371 with some kind of miss at 5800 + though, so 400rwhp with the right components won't be a problem.

RevXtreme ironed out an electrical issue I had. Great shop, nice people from my own personal experience. There is a couple things that I know that bother me a little but I only got one side of the story and do not intend to share. Every shop has their flaws or mistakes, overall it's a great shop as far as I'm concerned.

good shop. dino and kyle will take care of you without a doubt. i dont know chris very well but if they trust him, i can give a thumbs up.

you get what you pay for and they will stand behind their work. if that is important, give them a call

They used to have another RevX in Ft. Myers, but it has been sold off. There's a thread about it, a few threads down.
