Lol...I know I was thinking the same. And I have never seen number like that with just bolt on's and a cam. Either it's a freak or that dyno is generous

Well I can attest to it not being generous as it said I had 231/270 stock.

Thanks for throwing that up Scott. Its like we need to sticky my friggin' dyno graph around here.

Yeah, the AZ DynoChip dyno is definitely not generous.

You can see where my unported heads just stop flowing around 6200rpm. This CC306 would pull to the moon if my heads were ported.

The CC306/1.6 RR combo is great. It may be an old design, but it works, even with stock heads. I installed that cam back in 2003 and would buy it again tomorrow. Lots of torque, lots of horsepower, and nice curves on both.

I dynoed 338rwhp with the 306, 1.6/1.5 split rockers, LTs, Full bolt ons, and STOCK HEADS on a MUSTANG DYNO. Im thinking that would be around 365rwhp on DynoJet. Correct me if im wrong.

This thread excites me a little bit. I bought a 93 Formula with damn near exact same setup. I just haven't had a chance to try it out because it has a blown head gasket.

Thanks!

Heads are in the the future. The car runs so dang perfect right now that I just don't want to mess with it though.

Yeah, probably around there. Replace the 1.5s with 1.6s and get it on a Dynojet.

Probably not but if you already have heads/cam it's going to get you more than it otherwise would because it's then removing the restriction in the setup.

People assume it will only get 10-15 because that's what everyone sees when it's one of the first mods they do when they're doing boltons. But if it's holding back a setup that requires more air you could see more.

From what I've read on this forum headers at least 30-35 rwhp on a stock LS7 vette.
