You don't except great hp N/A, becuae of your tiny cam.. I would get bigger cam with 383cid. I know Lingenfelter loves small cams, but thats just my opinion..

Also LT1/4 like to have a good split and that's single pattern, look at some of the succesfull cams like cc306, cc305, crane 227, GM846 & 847 and my custom cam, well maybe not. Also the SuperRam is not the greatest intake for these engines, I believe it was designed for the L98 to boost hp at higher rpm because those motors had very long runners more suitable for low rpm and torque. Bottom line this intake will yield better torque over the LT1 but doesn't have the high rpm potential.
