Trying to get 500 RWHP without a Super Charger - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Pope Designs · 10-13-2009, 02:24 PM

So what else can I do? Below are my mods so far.

LMR CAI
Custom Tune
SW Headers
Custom Grind CAM
Cat & Res Delete W/ 40's Flow Masters

Right now I am at 443 RWHP. I need to find 57 more!

Thanks for any suggestions.

A bigger cam. Check out the Corvette forums, there are a lot of cam only LS3s with over 500hp. I think I saw a set of heas add just 15hp so you might want to look into a fast lsxr intake and TB.

Some ported heads and a cam. To squeek out a few more get a pulley and port the intake and throttle body.

My Cam is already pretty aggressive.

ported manifold, throttle body, ported and polished heads, N20

taylor 10.4mm Wires, underdrive pulley, NGK spark plugs, 160* Thermostat, Ported TB,intake manifold and heads , you'll get even more than 500RWHP.
BTW what is your cam spec? It seems tiny .

One thing is I only have 333 miles on the car. I have been told over and over to drive the crap out of it and I will see 25 more horses?

500HP mark - They did it with cam/ported stock LS3 heads months ago in GM High Tech Performance. This should be a pretty simple ta'do considering the amount of power that comes stock from the factory. I believe it was a rowdy sized cam for a 5th Gen. owner, but nothing new to the 4th Gen. Camaro/Firebird world.

if your willing to step up the valve springs we can spec you out a cam that may get you alot closer to your goal, that's not what we would consider a aggressive cam

I will be that if you make over 500 rwhp with a LS3 "Cam Only" fly cutting is required.

Didnt that car have a baseline of +400 RWHP to start with (not a dynojet dyno) ?
So with bolts on and a cam 100 RWHP gain ...

Hold on found it
base line 406 WHP (HIGH reading dyno?)
Cam + boltons 482 WHP
Heads+cam+boltons 518 WHP

So 112 WHP from all that , Bryan all ready gained 89 WHP cam only .
