is 340whp reasonable? Im asking this for a friend of mine.

cc306,ported heads & intake,shorties,58mmTB,CAI.
He dyno tuned it & the car made 340whp only
is this normal?
Thanx

Doing all of the above will probably net you an additional 25 rwhp!

[QUOTE=scorpion_z28;10846950] He'll need the guideplates to run the NSA rr's.
Easiest way to top 400 would be to throw a 50+ shot to it.
If not, $$$ comes into play...better heads.

Better porting, an electric waterpump, Longtubes, 1.6RR's, and better springs. I'm really surprised that he got the heads and cam done, yet didn't do all the important stuff when the heads are off like bigger valves/1.6RR's/hardened pushrods/LS7 lifters/and beehive springs.

Im really surprised of the result i've seen only Cam LT1s here with better numbers.
340 is nothing to snuff at for a cam-only LT1, that is a good number, just not with that cam. It need to be done right.

The problem is more than likely that cam. Even with head work it is absolutely enormous on stock heads, even after some port work. Extensive port work is required. Your 58mm throttle body isn't giving you a gain. And I would not finger out the shorties as your primary concern. I would estimate something is not functioning properly, or your tune is not a good one. Some of the others are suggesting to do more bolt on's, i would hold off until you figure out your current issue(s). your car should be making more, no one can argue that...
