I will take the OP place as this is the same build I am doing. already have a low mile LQ4 and a set of 821's, to replace the LM7 in my car. if I see 45x at the rear tire and keep my A/C I will be good! seeing someone's build and dyno sheets sure helps out in the decision of buying parts that work together . The cam specs look about right on par.

Remember when Bobby Boucher showed up at halftime and the mud dogs won the bourbon bowl?

The only thing I "don't like" about this thread, is its all about "chasing" a HP #. Thats all great, but time and time again, it has been shown, a lower HP car, can/will/has outperformed a higher HP car, because it makes more #'s under the peak curve.

I do like the info here, just trying to keep it honest.

Can't agree with that 100%. It's good to have goal before you start a build. But, is the number realistic, practical or attainable?

And yes to all three. It just won't be EASY or CHEAP.

Hello all,


I have a lq4 with the same cam(232/236 .625/.625 112 LSA +4), .41 gasket, ported 102 intake, 102 throttle body, 62 cc Dart ported heads, YT roller rockers and Johnson lifters that is at the dyno right now. Going through a 4l60 and ford 9inch. I can report back the numbers tonight, if it does not blow up(first build).

Something is up. The graph is really wavy, and it's a consistent wavy, like something is correcting for something else or coming in and out like the converter locking and unlocking. With the stuff you listed you should be in 450 territory easy. Even with the auto and nine inch.

What exhaust are you running?
