the guy who tuned my car said stock lt1 make around 230rwhp on his dyno. my head work wasnt the greatest and they werent flowed. the dyno sheet showed the car hp curving off at 4800 rpm and the cam i have is 1000-5000rpm. he showed me a dyno of a trans am cam only that put down 310rwhp so honestly i was expecting to be 320-340rwhp. he said if i put in a bigger cam ill be over 300.
A 503 will wake the car up, and without knowing a lot of information about the head flow, getting a custom will likely result in no better results that the 503. I'd assume the heads are stock for the purpose of selecting a grind at this point.

Something is wrong - the heads are probably no better than stock. The cam is also a bit on the small side, and the dyno used resulted in relative information anyway.

Just a reminder, I have the stock heads and cam and put down 309 rwhp. I would check into the head work. I do believe that cam should pull to 6k before dropping off. Alittle more info would also be helpful. You may have a dished piston or something.
Something diff wrong for only 270 rwhp. I dynoed 270 thru a stalled a4 with botlons. Do u have any track numbers? Do u have 1.6rr and whats ur compression? Your car should make power beyond 4800 thats for sure. Im wantin to say my bolton motor peaked at like 5800.
