Yes it is not a track car Came upon this high mileage 01 C5 and put in another newer LS1 (from a Lumina SS, similar to a GTO).
It will have: (already have these parts)
LTs, X pipe into Borla.
SS3600 Yank TC,
Besides that I'm just going to cam it (for street), so I chose:
218/230 .605/.612 108-1 LSA
Why?
It will sound good,
2000>6200 rpm
Trq should be fun in that light frame.

Eventually, I'll measure its power. What I'm interested in is a muscly rumble with tire frying on demand without spinning it more than stockish rpm range.
I think it will make around 375whp once done. Plenty for street fun.

I think I will run a set of platinum BTR springs. (Because in the event of a Supercharger).

Hey Predator Z, I have a similar cheater type wide split cam like that only on a 117. It has performed great for me over the years but I always wondered if I left some power on the table by not going to one of the bigger conventional 228/232 type cams. What do you think? Mine was a custom grind by geoff at eps about 5 yrs.ago. Thanx, I always read your cam threads.
You might be giving up some peak power with your cam compared to a 230s duration but i would imagine average hp and power down low would be equal if not higher. Im no expert by any means, im sure predator z could tell you, seems pretty knowledgable
