i don't see anyway to get 400hp from that little engine and cam, let alone 450. that is a damn hot small block. heads might flow 320+ but that cam just don't support the numbers period. and if someone is making big numbers like that, i'd put money on fudged perameters in the dyno cell. speed shops are not above doing that.

flywheel or engine hp is probably what it is. Selling price was lowered to 12,900 btw. Anybody know the specs on the heads. If I buy it, I'll probably want to put in a bigger cam and need to know the head specs. Thanks

i dont understand, he said the guy has full dyno sheets and videos, but asking us how much hp it makes. look at the sheets, drive the car. i hope your not buying a car off ebay.
i saw a camaro on ebay saying it had 400+rwhp, pimped out interior with tv's and playstations and crap, big wheels, looked nice like a show car. it was wierd cause they would sell or trade for another camaro, i said why? turns out it was a wrecked v6 that had an lt1 transplant and a salvage title.

The LT4 heads probably flow in the 280/200 range.
The car sounds like it has alot of good parts, but like most have said, it will not make 450rwhp NA.

No, I'm not buying off ebay. Car is in Ohio, I live in New Orleans. Car is in the vehicles for sale section over at camaroz28.com. It'll cost me $300-$400 for a one-way plane trip. Just weighing my options on the worth of going up there to check it out.

It put down 325 to the ground, Hotcam Kit and stock Heads through an A4.
The Hotcam is a small Cam, it's a nice little street Cam.

Found out its 450 at the flywheel. Guy said 375 rwhp, which would put 450 at the flywheel right at 120% of the rwhp. So, does 375 rwhp seem logical or possible with that setup? I had an ls1, and have never dealt with lt1s or lt4s, so I don't know much about them. I haven't had time to do much research on the mods either. Any thoughts, suggestions, or comments will be appreciated. And, as always, thank you for your time.
