In the 105-107 mph range. Probably depending on shift points and weather conditions.

My trap speed when stock at the Texas Motorplex in Ennis was 108 mph. Air temperature was a little on the chilly side--in the 60's. Lets not talk about the ET. Cold track + worn GS-EMT = Lots of wheel spin & loosy 60 ft times.

Thanks guys. I'm trying to get an idea of what my car is making before we tackle the loose ends and start getting it tuned. Knowing the LT4 is a 350hp engine, that gives me a very good idea. :cheers:

I believe that is after MORE Performance got done with it, as I have the same 210/224 Cam in mine...

Edit: I think ConeKiller managed 109 mph on his stock (maybe K&N/exhaust) LT-4.

Mine stays between 106-108 too. Never did get the GSC launch down pat, so the 60 ft times suck. Engine is totally stock - only bolt-ons are an open lid and Corsa exhaust.

Yep, that's the one. It's an exceptional cam for someone who is looking for a completely stock idle and decent power. After the new cam, I dynoed at Breathless during the CF Cruise IN last weekend at 342rwhp/378 rwtq! I'm impressed. So impressed, that I wish I had gone with a bigger cam! :(
There is absolutely NO noticeable lope at all with the 210/224.


Oh, and I ran the car at the 1/8 strip last night. My trap speed was 88.7 MPH with ALOT of wheel spin. Anyone know if that's respectable??

Scorp,

110 is my highest strap speed stock. with a ton of 109's. My 12.7x times were with a 106-108 trap speed, and my 12.9x's had a 107-109 trap speed.

base on your speed trap. I would say your motor now making about 300-315rwhp.
