30 HP sounds about right. Have fun with your new setup! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I don't have a dyno or headers yet but I and my buddies with similar cars could really notice a good sotp with the cam alone..pretty sure from all the reading you will get that 30rwhp with your headers .An ls6 intake seems to work well with it also.I like my b1 but kinda wish maybe I had got the t1.The b1 has a bit of lope but guess the t1 has more and the car is very driveable with the b1.I figured it might be good idea if we ever got emmissions testing here..so far none but who knows.Also the car is still kind of a sleeper.
You can't really tell all that much that there is a cam in there at idle.It does sound nice thru the revs though.Just got to save up for some headers now.

Here' my gains from just a B1 added.

(copy and paste)

Other mods were: Lid, ported MAF, ASP, K+N, Macs w/ off road ypipe, cutout, port TB.

Added a LS6 intake after that and gained another 4rwhp.

It ran a best of 11.66 at 117-118mph with that combo

Bringing a post back from prehistoric LS1 times here.

Anyone else out there still running a B1 cam? Did you used to run one?

Mike, do you race it? Nearly 400rwhp with a baby cam is nothing to laugh at. Nicely done.
