First let me say that the MPH on 8388's car shows around 400RWHP +- dyno's are a tuning device some might show more some less.
Some later ZR1's make 350-360 RWHP stock with the right cam timing
add another 30RWHP and your close to the 400rwhp or 119mph.
My opinion,the best time to do the cam timing is,when you do heads and intake porting.
In the last few months i have reseached and tried different cam timing and to my suprise what the experts have been saying is all wrong the LT5 also suprised me how it doesn't react like a 2 valve motor with cam timing.
I'm still in the middle of trying different cam timing,i will have more input on this by next week.
I might have to retract about the bigger intake cams not making power,at this time the bigger intake cams seem to be worth about 25-30 RWHP.
Like i said i will have more info about the stock cams and bigger intake cams.
Todd Pepmeiyer(sp), DO NOT i repeat DO NOT install the big intake cams or for that fact stock cams at the specs you emailed me a while back the one Crower recommented unless your looking to loose power,i tried it.
I don't have your email i changed my PC since then.
Todd,e mail me.
Most think of the LT5 like a 2 valve motor in some ways it's right but at the most part it's wrong.
If i came on here posting that my 350ci LT5 makes 470-480rwhp or runs 125MPH would anybody believe me? NO,and i think we would have the same arguement.
My goal to be the first to run 10's N/A 350ci LT5 6spd,with A/C on
Peace
