I know, mind blowing, right? That this example might ACTUALLY be "cam only"...and not cam only..............................plus 3342 bolt-ons, nitrous, stall, slicks, jet turbine, etc.

Honorable death for the light bolt-on 5.0.

A cammed C5Z is definitely a quick car

Thanks for sharing!

"cam only" on an ls is about as subjective of a term as "bolt on only" to mustangs.

That's about the expected outcome. Vette and Mustang making similar power..lighter Vette = win. Good race

Doug has lots of "little" things that add up to give him a considerable amount more power than a "typical" bolt-on LS6 would have. Which is awesome, until you consistently try to belittle anyone that doesn't do exactly the same thing. Case in point.

450RWHP cam only LS6? That is almost impossible with stock untouched heads.

This car still has stock intake, stock rockers, Stock clutch, and I'm sure the Vette eats up more power than an Fbody.

I know that seems like a lot cam only but I think it might just be possible.

My car did 402rwhp with just headers, intake, and tune on a Mustang dyno. Add a cam, FAST intake, UD pulley, and a lightweight clutch and it might just get there.

My WS6 with TFS 215 heads, cam, fast intake, did 455rwhp on the same dyno.

So let me get this straight

You think it possible for a LS6 with bolt ons to make 450

Yet your H/C/I car made 455

I'm not hating just wondering what logic there is in that
