Default RWHP in the LT1???

Thinking of buying a 95 Camaro Z28 LT1...

Mods...
-MOROSO COLD AIR INTAKE
- TRICK FLOW ALLUMINUM ELBOW
- 52 MM PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS THROTTLE BODY
- DESCREENED PORTED MASS AIR FLOW METER
- ELDEBROCK MID TUBE HEADERS
- 3 INCH OFF ROAD Y PIPE
- 3 INCH FLOWMASTER EXHAUST
- BRAND NEW AC DELCO OPTISPARK DISTRIBUTOR
- 323 POSI REAR END
- 2200 STALL
- SHIFT KIT
- JET PERFORMANCE COMPUTER TUNE
- 255 WALBRO FUEL PUMP

What would I be putting down with these mods.. to the rear wheels?

If I installed the LT4 Hot Cam Kit, how bout then?

Side note, Is it worth it to upgrade to 3.73's from 3.23's?

It really depends on the dyno and how well the car is running. I would say at least 240rwhp and possibly 290ish rwtq.

Don't waste your time with the hotcam

My car with old plugs only managed 243rwhp and 307rwtq with a stock internal engine(3.73, CAI, ST Headers). Then ran closer to 260 on a different dyno and the same setup. If you really want to know what it will run take it to the dyno. I'm just saying the worst I ever got was 243 so I would expect you to get more than that, as far as the torque goes I wouldn't expect it to be to far over 300.

Around 250/290, the Chokemaster catback will kill your power. And as stated, dont use the hotcam, do a custom grind. I'm DDing with my cam in my sig and its very streetable. Solid idle and power everywhere. I recommend you go a little smaller but cams bgger than mine are used on the street no problem

Fix those few issues and 280+whp aren't out of reach.

And going from 3.23s to 3.73s is always a good bet.

Ditto on the custom cam dealy. Give AI or LE a call.

Yeah, alot of crappy parts on that car. It better be a good deal. And get a custom cam, not the hotcam. I have both so I know.

Has anyone actually proven that a Flowmaster exhaust is bad for power? All the dyno sheets I've seen it doesn't seem to hold back any more than the other big name brands.

Yes, when people are gaining 2 tenths opening the cutout when they are intake/flowmaster catback only, that's a huge restriction. In comparison my runs with my old motor were identical with the cutout closed and open
