I have a 232/232 .595 114 lsa Comp. cam, Kooks LTH, catted x-pipe, Corsa Sports, Halltech Stinger intake, dyno tuned and got 450/405. I asked on the cam size so as to give you a better estimate of you rwhp with those mods. I've also added 390 gears and I am a happy camper. Good luck with your mods.

Thats a good sized cam, similar to mine, should put you at 425 rwhp. I have a nice lope at idle, Corsa Sports are pretty loud, and it is insane at WOT. Went to LG wheels and z06 supercar tires. On a warm day, 75 deg. plus, the F1 supercars hook up pretty good. If you end up needing better tires for traction, as 425 rwhp will push the stock ones to thier limit, I would not suggest the z06 tires. Nitto's or Toyo's are a better choise. Lot of info on this forum on these choises. Good luck.

Check sig. I was 436/392 before the FAST. Most say the 3.90 gears cost 10 rwhp/rwtq peak.
And the sound....well....that's a great benefit! I love it.

My guess is 510/450. Wow. Good luck. You will see what you see. Can hardly wait to see the numbers, n/a over 500 is rare.

Well I took the car out tonight, without the LT headers, and it already pulls considerably harder. The headers should help freeing up all that 'choked up" power.
Will go on the dyno once the headers get here
thnaks for all the input... can't wait to see the actuals.
I wonder what the bullets will contribute to the equation once the headers are in... what would i lose in going back to stock mufflers?

I'll take a guess at that one. One of the Livernois customers has a ls2, Stage 3 heads, 232/232 .595 114 lsa, Kooks lth, Corsa sports, mn6 that dyno'd at 472/412. I believe the gears are 342's. Your cam is a tab bit smaller, better injectors, alum. flywheel are all plus factors. The ported Fast 92 on that set up should get you 25-30 hp. And a Jeremy tune, nice.
My guess is 510/450. Wow. Good luck. You will see what you see. Can hardly wait to see the numbers, n/a over 500 is rare.

You are too kind, Bob. I selected the cam for good torque over a wide RPM range, not for peak horsepower. If I see 440 RWHP I will be very pleased. 510 at the FLYWHEEL is not out of the question, however. Then I will have the elusive Z06 convertible !!!

With my "Goldilocks" cam (not too BIG, not too small) notching of the pistons was not required, even with the 0.036" Cometics and milling to 62 cc chambers to get the 11.7 to one static compression.
I am hoping that the really tight quench, and the 8.7 to one dynamic compression ratio will allow reasonable spark advance and good torque over the 2000 to 6000+ rpm range.
