![Question](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
hey guys! i am in desperate need for advice... i am looking to buy a z28 camero for $10,500. it has many modifications including
LS6 Block – bought with 932 miles on it
Slightly bored (to fit aftermarket pistons)
Honed, decked
LS1 Heads – bought brand new, stage II bore
Bored again to stage III
Titanium valves
High-lift springs
1.7:1 rocker arms
Chrome-moly pushrods
ARP hex head bolts
Fel-pro head gasket
Diamond forged steel dome-top pistons
Eagle forged steel connecting rods
Solid engine mounts
Venom 32ft/lb fuel injectors
Compcams street/strip cam good to 6900 RPMs
Centerforce dual-disk clutch (good to 800+ horsepower)
Flowtech long-tube headers
Flowtech Y-pipe
Flowmaster exhaust
Brand-new gas-cap, plugs, wires, o2 sensors, head-lights, slave-cylinder
Custom computer program – madz28.com
they are claiming to push 510 at the flywheel with 420 at the wheels? is this true? or are some of there numbers slightly off? i am also curious with another question that i know the ls6 comes from the corvette, and the ls1 from the camero, so do all ls6's come with corvettes, cause that would mean stock it would push 400. thank you for your times, i am clueless, so any imput would help

First of all it's camaAro. Doesn't look to be any reason to me that couldn't hit 420rwhp, but I don't know too much about internal engine setups etc. Are you planning to buy the car for sure and just wonder about the engine or what? More info on the car would make it easier to determine if it is a good value and what not. I'm not exactly sure what you are wanting to know from this post, just what numbers it could be expected to put out?

1). Who made these heads (ETP, AFR, Patriot, PRC, Dart, ect.)
2). What is the CC on the chambers.
For example, AFR 205 heads 66cc chamber.

63-LS-218/224 Comp Cams LS1 Camshaft - 218 / 224 .527 / .534 114 LSA 1600-6500 RPM Power Band. Excellent mid-range torque with good top-end power. Computer Tuning Required. Works well with Crane 1.8 Roller Rockers.
That's a description of a Comp Cam from Thundar Racings website. The key numbers here are 218/224 114 lsa.

If I were you I would really think long and hard about buying this car. A car this heavily modded with no dyno tune would scare me away. But if you do buy this car then I would get it to a dyno tuner ASAP. Even if you have to drive 100+ miles to the nearest one it'll be well worth the time and money.
