Mine made 346/347 with full bolt ons, minus ported tb, underdrive pulley, and bigger injectors. My car is still pretty quick, even with the old technology 306. Ive raped a lot of cars I shouldn't have with that cam, its drives pretty good on a mail order, gets over 20 mpg on the highway, and sounds badass while doing it. With 4.10's and the t56 it was a blast, now I am back on stock gears and its not as fun, but it still a lot of fun. Around 3500 rpms its like a rocket goes off though, thats when she really takes off. But if im racing, im not dropping below 4 grand anyway, so it doesn't matter.

I'm calling BS on you somewhere, are you running an LT4 cam, or just the RR's and springs?

Or is it a "stock cam" thats been re manufactured or something?

Also, you've got some weight pulled out, he's probably full weight.
Ya those were numbers I got on a dyno dyamics and the numbers in sig are from 2wks ago on a dynojey. Im not a dyno number chaser so whats your point?

you should make a few more ponies then that...but maybe your heavy 17s ate up a lil? mine made 368 365
and it peaks from 55-63ish i use to shift at 6700 and bring it back to about 5300 i believe

They might have a little, I believe I was running an old set of tr55s when I had the dyno done. I need to get new oxygen sensors too. 6700 is where I shift mine at.

I raced a 96 LT1 with a cc306 cam...I am running a considerably smaller cam than that. We have similar mods (Ported Heads, 1,6RRs, LT Headers, 355's, etc) on our cars so by all rights if you go by "dyno numbers" he should have beat me. He will put more down on a dyno than me most likely...HOWEVER...from a dig on street tires I put a length and a half on him. Not saying he is slow or anything, but my cam uses my DCR differently. I dont bleed compression and I have ALOT of accelleration from top to bottom. I shift at 6400.

I dont have numbers on my setup yet cause every time I get ready to go dynotune it something happens. I was supposed to get it dynotuned last thursday but my tranny went out on me so it is in the middle of a Tick stage 2 upgrade right now. I get it back on Thursday and I will be getting it into the dyno to get tuned on Wed of next week.

I ran that 96 with the cc306 without a current tune. I can still gain 20-60rwhp depending on how far off my tune is...

What he is saying is that when you shift at 5500rpm and only drop down to 4500rpm in the next gear... who cares what you make at 3500rpm.

I would not hesitate at all to believe this. My car does not pull hard from a dig until I am in 2nd above 3500. But when I built the car, 95% of the racing I was doing was highway pulls, which is why I chose the 306. From a roll, you can't beat the upper rpm power it has.

As do I. The first time I raced that 96 with the cc306 from a dig he KILLED me cause I didnt know how to launch. We raced from a 40mph roll right after that and I put almost 2 lengths on him.

That night I beat him was the 2nd time we raced from a dig and I had learned how to launch right so I beat him the entire way down the strip.

I'm not trying to bash your car or anything but there is many factors involved that brought you the win. Maybe he should have shifted higher? Maybe your heads are better?

Or maybe the 306 is outdated haha.

Or maybe somebody just has a properly spec'd setup versus a "lets throw the biggest cam in" setup.

good thread! I'd also like to see a stock headed cc503 dyno, I'm considering that cam and do mostly street driving, but that doesn't mean I don't want to race from time to time! (on the dragstrip of course)

Nice numbers anyway.

Where would you want it to peak?

Or maybe because he has a built 355, that prob. has less miles on it. You think?

No...because his SAME 355 was built previously but was slow...changed his build but using same 355 shortblock and actually took advice instead of throwing some random cam in there and his **** runs strong even with his AFR way lean. I can't wait to hear how it performs with the AFR where it should be.

The funny thing, many of you will consider his cam small. So much for the built 355 BS....
