Default dyno# after cam/headers/intake

just back from Kelley where Dan tuned the car, everyone was impressed by the # for a "small cam", on the road the Z is simply fabulous, as smooth as stock with more power everywhere and between 6000rpm and 7000rpm there is only fun

Any details on the setup? Seems to be getting lean on the big end.

Dan who made the tune yesterday at Kelley-Chevrolet told me to come back in two weeks and we will dyno the Z again. At this time Dan will finish the tune and he is pretty confident in taking a little more power from a new tuning, buy the way the car will enough have time to relearn everything.
I just drove around early this morning, and more I drive better the engine is responding, on the other hand we are sure that the car will take more fuel next time, but did you check closely at the torque curve(high & consistant #), from driving it is also very impressive.

here is the list of mod that I have on the engine, most are conventional except for the CAMSHAFT where I decided to go on a reverse split(seems to fit perfectly) :

Kooks 1 3/4" x 3" with Weld-On Collectors, Stainless Steel,
Kooks 3" x 3" Off-Road X-Pipe

SpringKit Precision Race Components Gold Spring Kit With
Titanium Retainers, Seats & Seals

Texas Speed & Performance Chromemoly 7.40" Pushrods

Rollmaster Double-Roller Non-Heat-Treated Timing Set for LS1

ASP Underdrive Crankshaft Pulley, 1997-03 LS1 Corvette

Donaldson Blackwing Induction Kit, 1997-2004 C5 & Z06

MSD 8.5mm Spark Plug Wires

NGK TR55 Spark Plugs

COMP CAM Grid #LS1 3722R/3720R HR16
Valve timming :
Open INT: 2- BTDC , Close INT: 46 ABDC
Open EXH: 48 BBDC , Close EXH: 8- ATDC
these specs are for cam installed @ 114 ICL
224/220, .581/.581 @ 116 lsa

The parts are coming from Texas Speed & Performance(thank you Jason) the job was done at Kelley-Chevrolet FL (thank you Angel and Dan)

Nice #'s and torque. I can't wait to install my heads and cam. I will tune it myself but may take it to Kelly for a dyno run.
You ever come out to the Monday night car meets at Fudruckers? Lots of Fbods, stangs and a few Vettes here and there along with other misc. You should come out. 8PM every Monday.

Snow Dog I am planning asa I am back in Miami to post a video, idle is stock but when you drive wide open it's an interesting MUSIC, in the traffic there is no difference compare to what it was, and you can cruise with no noise....
