what would be a fair guestimate for what a dynojet would show for the following setup:

2002 camaro m6 3.42s

kooks LT w/ cats

Gmmg exhaust

slp lid

ls6 cam

ported ls6 heads

dyno tune

 

365 rwhp

 

you don't think that's a tad low???

i know it's a relatively tiny cam, but the heads have got to help out a little (even though they're too much head for that application really).

my logic here is that plenty of stock Z06s have done 365 to the wheels. he's basically building a factory LS6 motor (heads, cam, got the intake already) plus ported heads, full exhaust and a tune.

i dont see why 375-390 is out of the question...

 

i have your setup plus and i only put down 351.5 on a mustang dyno, and thats prob around 390ish maybe 400 on a dynojet. if you can do this and get 390, id say youre doing good. my advice, get a big cam, bigger than what i have. id say maybe a tsp 231 237 or a lot of people have recommended the 233/239. in any case, if you go with the stock zo6 cam, youll prob want more. at least go with a 224 cam like i have on a tighter lsa, like a 112 like i have. the smaller the lsa themore power youll make on motor, and nitrous will like the overlap. if you ever plan on going blower/turbo, get a cam on a 114 lsa.

 

I agree. You need more cam. You can get a more powerfull cam that still drives/sounds virtually like stock too, if that's what you want.

 

however the 231/237 sounds nowhere near stock...and if you are going for power i wouldn't advise that cam...it wasn't really designed for max power...it was more for good power and great valvespring wear...the lobes on that cam are not very agressive...it is what i have ...it lopes real hard, but i would've chosen a different cam if i had to do it over...definatly a futral cam
