Default What can i expect horsepower and torque wise with these mods

Putting a 95 LT1 into my 1988 3/4 ton 4x4.

Heddman 1 5/8 shorties
hypertech Power programmer
GM Hot cam kit with roller rockers(218/228)
Ported stock heads (248 cfm intake)
adjustable regulator set to what ever makes the most power.(36psi?)

Im looking for figures at the crank, as this is a 4x4 and rwhp from a fbody doesnt really apply.

Thanks alot.

at the fly...I would say around 360-370ish if the LT1s in good shape. Maybe a little more...but why not go for 1 3/4? And I suggest long tubes if its feasible...better performance. Screw the HPP and have your ECM/PCM tuned...its prolly cheaper than the HPP and better gains from it.

Well the shorties came with the motor.

I have the stock computer and harness.

Ive been told by a few people that this cam is too big for a 4x4 truck application. sure it makes decent hp but the torque kinda sucks. im using engine analyzer 3.0 (dyno simulation software) which also shows crappy torque down low. im thinking a small cam with big lift, or bigger rockers. what do you guys think?

all depends on the gears stall and tires. the hot cam makes decent amount of low end torque, specially if you get a good tune.
