GT2-3 cam and underpully installed, very stealthy! Picked 40 rwhp and 10 rwft! Just a bit more than we expected. With a dyno of 380 rwhp & 360 rwft it feels that power is finally becoming respectable.
Saw your car leaving the shop - Very Nice

Congratulations on the numbers - 21st Century people are the best around.

Default Lpe cam design specs

From the website:

"Lingenfelter offers one of the best street camshaft available for the LS1 engine. This camshaft works great with six speeds or automatic cars. Tests have shown 25-30 HP improvement over factory LS1 camshafts with out reducing street driveablity. Camshaft specifications: 207/220 duration @ .050 .573/.580 with 1.7 ratio rocker arms 118.5 CL. Also sold in a kit with springs see LS1-GT2-3KIT "

Hey Joe,

Check this guy out over here-

Before your cam was installed his numbers are close to yours.
Sounds like what you started with.He spent alot more on headers though and airbox.You still have stock airbox(z06 lid in ls1 car) and z06 titan. mufflers...Hmmmmm I thought LG were better than that?

Just from general observation, your peak HP must be at a higher rpm than previously (since there is significanlty more hp gain than torque). How many rpm did the peak hp move?

Yep numbers are very close, LG, Stainless, Kooks all are within 5 to 10 RWHP.

In the next 90 days A Hurricane intake is going in to replace the Z06 box, she definatly can use more air.

During the meantime I'm gonna finally paint the hood liner and tint the windows.

After the airbox I'll probably take my time and do some bling-bling under the hood.

What a sickness this is!
