Cam only 355 dyno numbers
Cam only 355 dyno numbers What's everybody putting down with cam only 355 cars? More specifically with stalled 4L60Es? I had mine on the dyno yesterday and just want to compare what power I'm making with others with similar mods.
My list of major mods:
355 stock bottom end/forged flat tops
COMP 280XFI (467 cam)/1.6 Pro Mags
52mm throttle body/Moroso CAI
SVO 30# injectors
Jet Hot long tubes/2.5" true duals/Dynomax bullets
FLT Level 4 4L60E/Yank SS3600
Moser 9" rear/3.70/Detroit Locker
Accel 300+ ignition
CSR electric water pump
Underdrive crank pulley
That's about all I can think of. If there's anything else that may make a difference, ask me. I'll post up my numbers and graphs in a little bit.

probably about the same as a cam only 350 unless you bump that compression up quite a bit. larger, heavier piston (forged) will add some weight to the rotating assembly.
my cam only, stock shortblock made 325rwhp through an unlocked auto. (CC503, Pacesetter Mids, Intake, etc)

Well I tuned a customers car a couple of weeks ago, Bone stock 95 TA, Long tubes, under drive,Stock ignition, stock T/B, and a baby cam, don't know the specs but I had it idling at 550 just so he could hear it, made 315 RWHP after a tune so??
Ok, so it seems like I'm not too far off from the "average". My car was tuned by Brian Black aka "SMKN TA 95" from here, on the street with a wideband. He's no pro tuner, but apparently he knows his stuff cause the car runs great on the track, and puts up good numbers on the dyno, comparatively. Not sure if it makes much difference, but it was a pretty hot day that we tuned, too.
My best pull on motor was 332/348. I did another pull that has a few more hp, but I think it was getting heat soaked because torque was way down. We also did a couple pulls with the nitrous. When we tuned, I didn't have a bottle with me, so the spray tune is relatively safe (5 degrees taken out, base afr a little fatter). With the spray tune loaded up, I made 466/465. Overall I'm pretty happy with the numbers.

I am curious to see what my 355 lays down on a 175. As you can see, the converter already flashes way high on the dyno. I wonder if I will get any reliable information from it.
Then again, as long as it performs well at the track, which is does, I am happy.

I agree on the detonation as well. Looks like it goes way rich, fix that and pull some more timing and it will prob pick up power, and at least be faster on the track. Reading the plugs is the beat way to verify the nitrous tune up
I meant I didn't have a bottle with me when the car was tuned 2 years ago. So for a spray tune, he just richened it up and pulled 5* of timing out, so it's just a generic safe nitrous tune that was never checked.
Just curious, what makes you think it's detonating on the nitrous pulls? Liek I said I'm not getting any knock, but I'm also on 93 octane pump gas. Maybe I should use 100?
