LT1 cam swap lacks power?
I finally finished my camaro last night, and it is lacking power.
Mods include: heads shaved 30k, ported and polished, CC503 cam, Long tube pacesetters, and a few small things like msd coil, etc. At the moment I'm running open headers because I havent gotten the ORY yet.
Any ideas on why its lacking power? I know it needs to be tuned, but would that really make such a difference?

I'm guessing you upgraded to bigger injectors?
cam swap means YOU MUST GET A TUNE, Christ even an mail order tune will make the car drive-able.
I'd be worried about ruining your engine from the excess fuel being dumped into the cylinders at the least.

K. Without making fun, you need a tune (your car has the chip that needs to be burned). You need the Bosch 28lb injectors (Ford older redtop large size type). DO NOT run the new injectors without a tune, you will ruin your engine.
