this. that stock *** car with a catback would've eaten all of your lunches.
not trying to defend the camaro or anything, but trickflow's cams for the lsex are pathetic. still thought it should prob make 390+ which would, imho, put up a much better fight than that. good question...where did it go? haha

I have yet to find one yet. Before I was ported, I usually put 3+ cars on a health cam only car. 401whp on a mustang dyno
Since ported, The H/C car is usually about the same. The TQ really helps with these cars.

I'm not saying they don't, I'm just saying I have not seen one yet.
I agree about posting numerous videos that we know nothing about. One of the cars in the video could have a 100 shot and say its H/C only.

The only LS1 that has given me trouble was a cam only 400whp notch foxbody that weighs around 2700lbs I think. I was dead even with him too (hopefully Corey still has the vids). I really wouldn't be afraid of a heads and cam LS1 unless it had major weight reduction....

for the most part it seems ls1 cars run the best (on the whole) stock it near stock. most cammed cars I see don't run worth a damn. even hc cars around here aren't impressive. the cars go 112 with bolt ons and like 115 with a massive cam. wtf. 60whp and only 3-4 mph? I don't even want to cam my car for that reason. however I do feel I have a better grasp on how **** works than most.

Still waiting to see these magical LS1's I keep hearing about. I make around what a pullied cobra does in the vid and you see what I did to that Camaro. And I don't see an F-body weighing less than the 400whp cam only fox I ran unless its gutted.

Maybe an all out HCI LS1 build might keep up with a ported/ pullied Cobra, but not your average HCI LS1. This has just been my personal experience though, as I have ran one before

What ive learned from owning these cars is it is hit or miss. Ive seen a 243 headed cam LQ get realed in by an intake catback auto f-body with 2.73s. Open your eyes.

Its hit or miss, theres some strong running cam only cars that drag pullied bolt on cobras and then theres some that have trouble with bolt on f-body's.

Do you ever have anything objective to say?
