Jim, you should try to contact that guy with the silver A4 C5 that I have seen run at Byron, I heard it's a 402 or 408 and he goes like 10.6 on pump gas.

Beware... Some of these chassis Dyno numbers aren't worth the paper they are written on. 550 rwhp... What's the drive train loss? 20%... So that means you have about 690 HP at the crank?... <On a pump gas stock intake, Hyd. cam 402! ... No effin' way!

It can be done but its not going to have a baby cam in it.But what is sreetable to some might not be to others.My wife has a .600/.615 cam in her daily driver on a 112 and we call that streetable.

Big stalled auto would run into the 9s with that type of power this is making. Has less than 100 miles on a brand new motor and 20 dragstrip passes (no spray/N/A). The track is what matter and we know this and this particular 12:1 to 1 compression 225 Trick Flowed Headed LS2 402 is certainly hauling the mail and should propel my Z06 into mid 10s all day and that's what i'm looking for!

Was just wondering who else is having these type of result on a max effort 402!

Sounds like the setup to get then! Pretty healthy setup, thats what you shoudl see out of any 408 with decent heads cam etc.Our stuff is running less compression, moderate cam in the upper 240s, and carrying around 2-300 lbs more normally than that as they are normally running NA when they are out of nitrous , we really havent ever built a max effort NA setup, but there are lots of guys who have and have been 8.90s to 10.0s range NA depending on weight/compression. TXCamss comes to mind, nothign crazy pump gas motor Erik built, 3400 lbs and 9.8s or 9.9s and drives it around some.

Well I agree that it's possible, just depends on how much air you can get in/out of it....

I agree 100% as W2W is one of the premier engine builders here for sure (along with several other great selections-LME, Canadian Performance (Dave builds bad azz ****), ERIK formerly of HPE)!

Not going to happen.

460-470 through an M6. Youll see more of 450.

I agree Mike, why go spend all that money on a new engine and mess it up with the wrong cam. Hell, a new cam is one of the cheapest parts of a new engine and the part that is most often f**ked up.

This was accomplished with a 234/240 @0.050 dur cam on a 112+0 in a 402, so depending on the heads used he might come close. FYI this dyno sheet is through a M6 "Vette".

Someone really needs to come out with a cost effective street manifold that will keep up with the setup.

Ed and I are talking about another cam option this morning and we'll see what develops.

First Setup/Final Numbers:

I'm not saying that he should use the MS3 cam, B/C I would get a custom cam personally.

Magic Stick isnt even remotely close to that cam you have. Sure the duration numbers might look similar...But what happens at .020 and other areas on the lobe plus the valves opening and closing events arent anywhere near what you post a graph to. I stick to my claims and its a very educated claim at that.

I'm running a 13-1 402, et 240 heads, eastside stroker grind cam,fast 90/90 and made 445 rwhp thru a th400 with a non lockup 5800 converter, with a nitrous tune. On motor it ran 10.8 spinning the rims in the tires, and the suspension is not anywhere near 100% yet

With a set of 28 et drags screwed to the rims, I'm epxpecting 10.5 from it on motor before it sees any nitrous

So if you did a search and pulled up a post I started in the Dyno section, the 372ci LS1 motor must be IMAGINARY to them.

BTW, it made over 720 on the engine dyno without the nitrous and its a purpose built nitrous motor. Sick enough that no one else has made that kind of power from an LS1 and the same parts.

spinning the tires on the wheels sint going to drastically cost you time unless it was making a lot fo revolutions I wouldnt think. We have cars that move the tire on the rim and cut 1.2s-1.4s, I doubt its really hurting it much at all

Please remember this was intentionally NOT a max build. Still 500/466 ain't bad either. I've been driving the car all over the place and commuting in DC rush hour and still haven't found a downside to the build. Also, this was on a VERY honest dyno. Not saying they all aren't.

revolution and a half per run, 90% at the launch we figure, judging by what it did in a 1/8th mile pass. Guy that mounted the tires put WAY too much soap on them.

Yeah I know that this wasn't a max effort build. Ed and I had talked about a few things and maybe a different cam later on that would work out a little better. I use a different cam grinder and company than Comp Cams for my engine builds. Any how my cousin's red 99' Vette is at his shop right now getting a new 402 as well. I am going to fly out and we will try 3 Comp Cams camshafts and 3 of my own camshafts from my company for some R&D work with the ETP casting/RHS CNC heads.
