427 heads cam
 
I recently sent my heads out to rpm to get done and ordered a btr stage 4 cam I have American racing headers and a B&B exhaust with a haltech cai I was hoping to get around 600 whp does anyone have any ideas what I will put down or anyone have anything done similar

Very unlikely you will get to that with the stock intake. Ported msd would help out a lot

Sick427 04-14-2019 11:13 PM

Someone told me you only get like 8 hp from that to not spend the money

"Someone" Clueless or with an agenda. 10 RWHP with stock Heads and cam,
20+ with Ported Heads & Medium Cam, with Headers,
235*+ Intake or larger Cam & well Ported MSD 35+.

550 to 560 seems more reasonable.

Sick427 04-15-2019 09:37 AM

So you think I値l only gain 40 horse power from this

Wheel horsepower. 650hp at the motor.

That is a proven cam to make big power. However, you need all of the supporting mods to get there (600 RWHP range).

SPDKLZ1 04-15-2019 10:19 AM

Are you sure you want a big donkey dick cam that drives like shit just to hit a certain number? -Especially since you thought Undy meant crank hp when he said 550-560...you honestly might want to reconsider to a BTR 3 at least.

redbird555 04-15-2019 10:23 AM

lol putting an msd on my bolt on car did more power than any other single mod.... the stock ls7 intake is trash by today's standards

Sick427 04-15-2019 12:37 PM

I have the btr 3 in my 2012 z06 I知 building my 13 427 now and was just going with something a little bigger

Buyer's remorse in 3...2....1

Also, periods OP. Periods.

Should be In the 610 to 620 range with stock intake at the wheels. They seem to use a big cam to make big numbers, may end up driving kinda shitty in town. Higher numbers equals less drivability.

MTPZ06 04-15-2019 02:14 PM

BTR 4 should even be a consideration without all supporting mods. I assume you're heads will be ported by saying they're being "done"...but that could just mean a valve job as well I suppose. You have good LT's, but ported heads and a FAST/MSD intake are also needed or you're choking the motor.

I知 not cheap I had everything done with all supporting mods I have another z06 that is fully built I知 doing this one all motor and was asking for opinions on what can I do to have all motor 600 whp

If only there were shops with experience to help spec a package to meet your goals...

Apocolipse 04-15-2019 04:52 PM

This guy seems to have already made up his mind.

Set up
 
I made 608 at the tire with ported and decked heads,BTR 3 cam, lg LT's and ported stock intake. My setup ran really good and was proven over and over.
