Default Straub, LT-1 geeks inside

Opnons modern day LT-1 could still look stock save for headers which are pretty much accepted on any old car could still have the smog pump too

Using Trick Flows new Camel Humps
350ci
Modern day solid flat tappet (what specs)
Headers
True 11ish to 1 CR
LT1 intake
750 holley (dp or vs)

Estimates on differences in power throught the curve

Curious on Straubs opinons as to cam.....
Will skip exh manifolds makes no sense to me ;a solid roller could be an option too but not everyone can afford one good lifters arent cheap

Was going to post on speedtalk but they dont like it when asking if one isnt actually going to do it

If I get my 69 Z/28 back I'm going to see about those trick flows....440-450HP would be possible with a roller cam.

I'm rebuilding my motor now. It is a stockish rebuild. I chose crane 110951 cam. Here is why
I thought you might be interested in reading this web page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...errerid=541279

I ended up going with comp cams edm solid lifters.
I did stock heads with comp cams stamped roller tip 1.52
I'm using the 70 L2304 trw forged pop-ups

I debated using these heads
