480HP Z28

Hi everybody! I have a 2000 Camaro z28 with a vortech v1 t trim on it right now. I made 599.8/730 on the dyno with my current kit. It just doesnt seem to be enough for me though. So I've been looking into the Huron Speed T6 kits and thinking about taking part in the group buy. Before I do, I'd like to know your opinions.

I had my engine built by Cartek in Garwood,NJ late 2016. It currently has less than 500 miles on the build.

6.0 block
Eagle crank
Wiseco pistons, don't know the specs but I could find out from Julio.
Eagle rods
PRC 237CC ported heads
239/251 @.050 .629/.624 116LSA w/ 112ICL lunati cam
Ls9 head gaskets
SLP HPOP
ported ls6 intake
ARP head studs
3 bar map

As far as transmission.. It has a 4l60 in it with 3200 stall, all sonax parts, 5 pinion planets, raybestos carbon composite clutches. I do plan on swapping that for a TH400 in the near future though.

One of my biggest concerns in the cam. Is it too much for a turbo setup? I dont want to swap them unless I have to.

I did start to run out of fuel on the previous setup so if anybody could point me in the right direction of a kit that'll handle atleast 800rwhp that'd be great. Thanks

How much power can that V1 t-trim support?

According to Vortech, 825. Not sure if thats at the crank or wheels.

That cam is obnoxious and too low a stall speed for it. Do you already have a tubular k member that's needed for the HS kit? Personally if it's a street car to have fun in and the car is done with 1 kind of forced induction I would tear into it until you've maxxed it out. Turn the boost up.

A Tubular K-member is not required with the T6 kit the OP is looking at. If you have any questions on the kit at all please feel free to ask and I would be happy to help however possible. Our V3 T6 is an awesome option and very popular kit, you would be very pleased making the switch

So it uses the stock k, does it keep ac?

It is obnoxious but didn't know if it'd still work or not. I already have the BMR turbo k member. Honestly, I'm sick of having a cluttered bay & belt slip.

Does the vortech have the after cooler that sits on everything? If you want an engine bay that is not cluttered turbo is NOT the way to go lol. procharger is far less cluttered than when I was turbod.

I gotcha. I couldn't remember if there was a kit that used the stock k and kept ac or if 1 kept 1 and the other kept the other.

Would you also recommend changing the cam or could I get away with running it?

I think the cam is too big. Slap on a S480 and a smaller cam and drive it...Real fast Lol. Look at "Honk if parts fall off" 67 Chevelle. Its trying to get into the 7's.

You could make far more with a stock idle with a turbo (or any other FI). The only reason to run a huge nasty cam of that size is to max out a race only combo. That being said, that bigass cam wont keep you from making power.

Cam might be ok for a 454....might.

Really...might be easier just to throw a YSi on it ?
