365 RWHP from bolt-ons is perfectly believable (although quite good.) My car is an A4 and did 359.

417 RWHP with only a cam is pretty bad-*** if you ask me.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I was hoping for 400rwhp and I would of been more than happy, but when Jason looked over at me with those eyes, I either knew something had to be wrong or really good! He couldnt believe it and double checked to see if I had aftermarket heads. But nope, I told them they were stock. I couldnt beleive it myself. I know I could of picked up a few more with a short belt, no air filter, a bigger y-pipe or true duals, a cut out, lighter wheels, etc. I know the car is capable of 420+, but I was happy enough so I wasnt gonna go through the trouble of doing all that just so that I could dyno more. Do you have any clue what the record is for cam only, stock heads, M6, N/A?

I've been trying to decide on which cam to get and I've pretty much made up my mind on the C2. Very nice numbers, now let's get some track times.

That's one impressive car with bolt on and cam no cutout!

I dont have a clue is to what youre talking about!! Ive got the stock LS1 heads that the car came with. The heads have never been pulled off the car. The car is a 2000 SS and whatever it came with is whats on it. Not a single thing has been done to the heads.

I got the tuning done when I finished up the bolt-ons and got it dynoed. I didnt dyno before the tune, just after. So I really dont know what kind of power I picked up with the tuning. I then had it retuned after the cam install. I didnt dyno the car before and after the cam tune. In other words, the car was tuned when I finished the bolt-ons, then dynoed and then after the tuning for the cam, it was dynoed again.

I have that cam in my 2001 Vette with stage 1.5 heads and all the bolt ons and 3.42 gears as well and only made 414 rwhp corrected and 398 rwtq.

Who did your heads? Who did your tuning?

Texas Speed and Performance in Lubbock. They are a quality place with a huge knoweledge of LS1 performance.
I still was wanting to be around 420 rwhp but as I have been reading around maybe its not possible with a Vette and that small of a cam.

I had the C2 in my '99 TA last year and made 421rwhp/401rwtq with MTI stage 1 heads thru a 10-bolt with 3.73 gears. I gained a buttload of torque from 2500 to 5000 rpms over my previous Stage 1 and 221/221/.558/.558/116 cam setup. 25-30 ft.lbs. average gain in that band of rpms! The C2 cam gives you a power increase everywhere, low, mid-range, and high rpms, it simply is a proven performer.

If you want to see my dynograph just go to MTI's website and click on the Engine Section of F-bodies. Scroll down to the 475hp heads and cam package. The dynograph shown is my '99 TA with the C2 HAMMER cam.

If you want to see a dynograph of Stage 2 heads and an X1 cam, then go to the Corvette Engine Section, scroll down to the 475hp heads and cam package. The dynograph shown is David Coates SS Camaro with Stage 2 heads and X1 cam.
