400 at the crank is easy. Cam only or spray. 400 at the crank is 328 through an auto with 18% drivetrain loss. A cam like the CC503 will be making around 330, a larger cam like the XE 230/236 or GM 847 will be pushing 350ish. But OP dont take dyno #s too seriously, they are a tuning tool. Cars like gregrobs arent making monster power but are running good times because they are setup right. Choose your setup to have a good powerband and set your car up right and you will be good

Lots of ways to get to 400hp All depends on which route you choose and how much coin you want to spend. Hp @ the crank and @ the wheels are two Different goals.

Ported stock heads, 2.00/1.56 valves, 1.6 rockers, cam (CC305, Hotcam or better), decent exhaust setup and a tune - Basically my setup and worth over 400hp at the crank depending on other mods.

It is all in suspension. The wifes t/a is full weight and just went 12.7 @ 107 on street tires. It's just a bolt-on car.

Mind if I ask why? The stock LT1 intake is more then capable of 300whp.

And how did you fit an LT5 cam in an LT1? The LT5 was an overhead cam motor, not a push rod motor.

LT4 not LT5. Slight difference there.
