Default solid roller 396. how much power you thinking?

This is a repost from earlier. I'm a few days out from being home so i thought i would see if anyone else would like to throw up some guess before i go take her to the dyno.

The goodies.
95 Z28 Camaro
396 LT1 11.7:1 comp
Callies racemaster 3.875 stroke crank
SRP forged pistons/ 14cc dish
Callies Pro I rods/ 5.850 length
Clevite race bearings
Solid roller cam (specs in link)
http://s622.photobucket.com/albums/t...t=DSC01940.jpg
Comp solid roller lifters
Comp pushrods
Comp pro magnum 1.6 rockers/ 7/16 studs
AFR LT4 210's CNC port job w/ 58cc chambers
Ported intake
Canton pan/ melling HV pump
Bored & honed .030" w/ torque plates
Billet main caps
ARP fasteners
Balanced
Decked
Meizere EWP
K&N FIPK

QA-1's on all four's
Spohn LCA, Torque arm bar, pan hard bar, and Kenny Brown sub-frame connectors.

built T-56
Mcleod ST
Moser 12 bolt, 4.11's, eaton posi, 33 spline axles
MT ET Streets

So far the majority of people have been saying around 470's at the wheel N/A. Once i get her tuned nice ill be hitting it with a 200 shot. So be on the lookout for me larry because im going to be coming to IL to pay you a visit at work lol

My guess is 480 rwhp through the t56 12bolt with out of the box "comp" heads. If ported then it depends on the port job. At that level the intake can be a restriction too, so the port job on the intake will also have an effect.

Heads have to have a good port job on them to work to the max along with great valvesprings etc. the cam of course has to be in sync with the flow of the heads and match your "STATIC COMPRESSION" i will not be suprised at all if you get 480 WHP in fact if it is set up properly you should hit that # with ease....now on the dope depending on the manufactuer and the type of kit will determine the outcome there NX has always treated me VERY VERY WELL

Agreed. Except for your cam having a little less lift that profile is pretty close to what I have. My peak is at 6800rpm. You'll have a ball.

That set up sounds a lot like Brett's old set up in his 97 Z28, he was making right at 500rwhp at the back tires. His heads had some additional port work to them.

Key point is getting it dialed in. Your gear and tire choice will be crucial. If you are going to put a big shot on it then your N/A times will most likely suffer because you will not be able to use your power band efficiently in the 1/4.

Mustang dyno? Reason being is you probably already know of the differences between the two. I dynoed mine on a Mustang dyno and the output was at the 440rwhp mark w/ a cutout and 430 capped. Others who've dynoed the same on that particular dyno have done so on a Dynojet and have been in the 470's so either way... As stated I'm interested in the hp numbers and track times.
