The hot weather really kills these things, I go from 7.5psi on 90 degree days to 8.5 when its 60 degrees at night and the car feels a million times better.
No other changes, same track, same air/fuel ratio: 10.96 @ 124 50 degrees, 11.20 @ 121.5 72 degees. Big difference, you really can notice it..

I want to put a 236/240 cam in it, 600ish for lift, 114 lsa most likely, I figure thats good for at least 40rwhp with the motor setup, my curren't 214/218 .540/.550 is great and all, it idles like a stock LS1, but its not there for the power, closer look at the dyno sheets showed peak power around 5900......
No problem at all making 600+rwhp with a stock ls1 cam let alone your cam.
Rob Raymer dynoed well over 700RWHP with a stock ls1 cam and a stock ls1 intake.
I guarantee you will pick up at LEAST 40RWHP With that change. ![](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)

Instead of looking at only the ls1 scene, you guys should look around, maybe talk to some of the competition. I have seen 5.0's make over 600RWHP with stock cams. Know how small a stock 5.0 cam is? .444" lift ~ 200' duration!
Work on getting the boost and the tuning. More boost and a better tune should net a good 150RWHP from your current level.
But like you said it's not a dyno queen. See what it runs before you go and make all these changes.

I would take it to the track, try different shift points, and bring home a 10 second pass.
I'd still like to know what your max timing was at peak hp, can't you get that from Izzo or Intmd8?
