Final dyno numbers.lol
So crazy. Just tells you what a baby cam and ported heads with all the bolt ons can do.

Nice numbers!! That's gonna be fun!!

ss camaro-monte · 04-28-2023, 03:54 PM

Yep, nice fat torque curve with stall and 3.73s should be fun. Picking it up Wednesday morning and driving back 7-8 hours to Houston. Should be fun if the weather is good. Will report back with video of idle and maybe a pull or two later in week or weekend.

Those are great numbers! Congrats!

I just dropped my car off at GPI last Friday. I'm getting their SS1 VVT cam and porting my heads. Hope my results are as good as yours!

Here is an old thread. Gives you an idea without ported heads. My cam is very different than the ss1 vvt. Much less overlap, torque peaks a little later and my motor will pull 6600+ due to to the 118 lobe seperation.

Your motor should make more power and peak a little sooner. More concentrated powerband if you will. Dyno numbers don't mean everything. It's a measure of power and a tuning tool but like Bo said in another thread recently , I could pull 420rwhp on one dyno and maybe 470 on another. The track is the only true measure. I also have gears and stall which makes a huge difference as well.

Agreed. Dyno numbers are not the "end all; be all", but they do give some indication of performance.

I have gears as well, but I am still on the stock converter. The only reason I am doing a cam swap in the first place is to get these crappy AFM lifters out of my engine. My ultimate goal is to go forced induction.

Yeah I can't wait to see your results because a friend of mine wants to do the same thing. So how long did it take them to schedule you after you guys called them?

It took about a week and a half after I ordered the parts to get scheduled. I'm told it's going to be at least 4 weeks until I get the car back due to the lead time to port the heads. One week down, and 3 more to go as of 4/28. I try not to think about the car; but I'm pretty stoked, so it's hard not too.

I'll start a new thread with the results as soon as I get the car back.

Took me about 7 weeks total but I had more things then just motor mods but honestly I don't care if it took 9 weeks. As long as it is done right is what matters.

Bingo! Well said. That old saying, "good things come to those who wait"!! Just like my build, took 11 years to finish, but it was well worth the wait AND money!! It's all worth it in the end. You will be greatly satisfied..

Amen, brother! There's a reason I drove 2.5 hours from home to take my car to GPI. I don't trust any other shop around me to do the work.
