Why don't you tell us what you have. Given the fact you asked such a complicated question without giving us anything to base a recommendation on we can only assume you really don't know what you are doing.

Do you already have a rollbar?

I need to go up 420 wrhp on my wheels
our tuner in kuwait said that its defficult to tunning lt1 with flat pistons, comprission of the engine too hight you can't use nitrous with 12.0.1 comprission!!!
My goal to win a race with veete Zo6 2008

You don't need a solid roller to get that kind of power to the wheels....

Lot's of red flags though...

You wasted money on those heads and intake, the ported stock parts would have done the same.

You have an eagle stroker kit? Please tell me it's forged.

Nitrous has no problem with high compression, spray away as long as your tuning and fuel is good.

spray it.... and do those heads even match a LT4 intake?

Find another tuner. These engines are very easy to dial in even with a mail order tune.

why not need to use solid roller cam??
it will not help me to have more power?
if i can go highier than 420wrhp why not?
this heads which i have are ported
whats the maximum power can i have with this modification??
also should i use super charger??

supercharger would be a lot worse then nitrous at that compression... obviously you need a lot more research and planning on what your goals are and what you want to do, beating a z06 from 08 isn't really a gial sounds more like a grudge match, will this be at a track or on the street... gut the whole car except drivers seat and go to town

camaro_9999

it will be on the street
with my modification what can i change to get more power ?? but dont tell me change the heads that will cost me alot
any way i will use a 150hp nitrous shot
but please what the best advice to have the top power of my engine?

Just having a solid roller doesn't mean more power. The cam grind has too match your setup. You can spin a solid roller higher but it doesn't matter if your heads aren't up for it.

You can get 420+ out of a hydraulic roller easily. A solid roller sometimes need adjusted every once in awhile and can get annoying for a frequently driven car.

Not that your heads won't work, just saying you could have had your stock parts ported and made the same power. You didn't need to buy those unless you didn't have the stock parts laying around. Even then you should have bought stock parts and had them worked.

Don't even think of a supercharger with that compression ratio you have.

And is your crankshaft forged or cast?

420+ HP is easy with a 383 (if done correctly)

camaro_9999

also the crank is forged
there is a way to make my comprission down??
just to know
this heads i bought it used 50 kd = 178$ and they are like new so that way i use them
my camaro not daily use
some of week end we go for street racing so i dont care about annoying or high RBM
we try it before tunning on dyno and it give me 348 rwhp and 382 rwtq but dyno man said that the fuel is too lean
now I'm waitting a ram power grip gb clutch and mecloud flywheel to delivery it from summitracing in the last of this month

What cam do you have? Cam only stock LT1's put down that power number you listed.....

A 383 with ported heads and a decent cam will put down 420 to the wheels through an M6 all day long. You're not doing something right with your setup.
We need all the info you can give us on your motor to be able to help.

at 12:1 just dump a 150 shot through it, it will thank you... the only way to lower your compresiion is to remove your heads and install thicker head gaskets, but just rock out your 12:1 and spray it! also sounds like you need some tuning...

93M6Formula

If you want to supercharge it, you need dished forged pistons and about a 9.0:1 compression ratio. Otherwise keep your high compression and spray it, it will be cheaper that way.

A big problem I see running a solid camshaft is you cannot run a knock sensor. With that high of a compression ratio it would probably be a must to run a higher octane because of the kind of temperatures your region experiences. Your tune would have to also be spot on.

everything ive read so far has been dead wrong about tuning and nitrous and compression....not to mention mediocore heads with a stock ecm and a bottom end that wont like 7krpm + too much...........i smell troll?

Thunderkyss

If your tuner can't get enough fuel into the car with a tune, go to bigger fuel injectors or raise your fuel pressure. Get more fuel in that thing & you'll make more power.

Looks like you're getting enough air into the motor, now you need the fuel.

Also, how did you figure the compression ratio? What size is the combustion chamber on those heads? How thick is your head gasket?

I bet you don't have 12:1 compression.

Kind of pointless to talk what compression he can tune and such when we don't know what octane they get over there..

Before getting a solid roller I would scrap just about everything you have and do it right, THEN you could think about an aftermarket ECU and the thousands of dollars worth of valvetrain upgrades needed to run a solid roller.

Truth. They could be swimming in pools of 104 for all we know!
