What do you guys think...
40 over
lightly ported / cleaned up heads/intake (94 casting)
LE stick 226/234 565/565 111
11.6.1 Comp
mac header / hooker aerochamber exhaust
1.6rr crane gold
e cutout
3.73/ 10 bolt
stock bored out 52mm TB
lid w/ ftra ( i put up pics, no one has theirs setup like mine)
295/35/18 rear tires, zo6 rep rims. pretty heavy.
ls1 DS
m6 t56
put down 323/338 with bolts ons + heads / intake that are on the car now...only real diff from those numbers will be cam, lid, ftra, compression.
hoping to break 375rwhp, 400rwtq. well see...

What springs?
I know it has smoothing 5, but it doesn't look like electrical issues to me. IMO you have some other mechanical issues. My 227int cam didn't peak until 6100, and it had piece of **** no-name ported heads that were probably done in someones porch. You peaked early and your torque took a NOSEDIVE...

IMO it's not the springs. If it were power would fall off as much as the torque. It looks more like it's simply getting the **** choked out of it. Torque curve looks alot like a stock LT1 with a 150 shot... only lower.

forgot the springs, Llyod told me what to get for the cam. He works with Ls1 speed and i was able to pick up the springs i ordered from them.
I know they are a comp spring good til 575-580 lift.

thats the plan, i found a set of used pacesetter LT's for a good price & and the new guy next door to me has a 10 second ford lighting. We are going to figure out the ELE issues, throw on the LT's and il be back on the dyno soon.
But il prolly end up at the track next wkend. so il have a trap/E.T. before i get back on the dyno. I dont even really care what it puts down, I just want to know everything is running right, etc.

In all the header comparos I've read LT and mid length headers make similar peak HP. Where LTs shine is in lower rpm torque production. Now the 1.625 dia may be hurting you although capricemgr made good pwr with that size tube.
Are you going to Union Grove?

i had a bit of white smoke from the exhaust this am. It has been 70-75f outside for about a wk now and this am was 40-45 or so.
so i think its just condensation and maybe the fuel injector cleaner ive been using. but with this car if theres an issue it always turns out to be the worst case scenario.
should i be worried about this??

If you think the white smoke is more than normal cold weather condensation you could pressure check the coolant sys with a tester to see if you have a head gasket leak. How many miles do you have on the rebuild? To make sure everything is OK with the cylinders you could do a cyl leak down test and a cranking compression test. This info would be good also for baseline numbers to track engine health if you're going to race it alot.
