400 rw by adding cam, ls6 intake, tune?

[swifty]

See sig.
If so, can I do this with a 224/224 cam.

Didn't look at your sig, but if you already have a catback system, lid and longtubes................ with a cam, a LS6 intake and a tune I would say yes.

You should be real damn close if you don't hit the numbers. I don't see why you wouldn't unless it is high mileage.

[swifty]

I can't see my sig either??
00 Z28, cold air, Granatelli MAF
SLP lid and K&N, Corsa catback, Jet hot LT with cat.

Thanks!

You have to attach your sig everytime. You should have no problems hitting those numbers. My buddy with a 02 SS with cam and bolt ons hit 415 rwhp.

Thanks!

That is what we are here for.

i have a 224 cam with the normal bolt ons, look in my sig for numbers.
its rare for people to hit more than 390 with a 224 cam.

If you do it will only be peak HP, and a good amount under the curve will be under 400... Go for usable HP, not peak #'s

Really??? Nobody on this board has 400 or more to the wheels with a cam, LT headers, catback, ORY, lid and a tune?

He is a member but never on here, but I have a buddy with 415 rwhp with the bolt ons and a cam in an 02 SS.

Yeah that's kinda what I thought. Mine was just Dyno'd on a Mustang Dyno on Friday. 2nd run was at 326hp. This is running pig rich. I was getting a base line on what I had before I got the headers installed and the Tune done. The shop foreman told me with a tune I should get around another 20 to 25 hp and with the headers another 30 or so. So I am looking at around 370 to 380 to the wheels without a cam. So with a cam, That should put me over 400 rwhp I would think. I guess we'll see soon.

I think he means with a cam that small. There are tons of cars out there with stock heads hitting 400 rwhp cam only, but most of them are running bigger than a 224/224.
My answer would be you probably could not see 400 rwhp on that cam. Now with something like a 231/233, it would be considerably easier to hit 400.

[BIG D's SS]

Somne cars are just monsters. My 00SS with a cam and all bolt ons minus a ls6 intake dynoed 355rwhp. SOme cars are just freaks. I am a huge dis believer unless I see it but I saw this myself. I hope that is what he means. All of our cars are in the 230's and bigger.

I want a cam so f'n bad...400+ would be so cool!!

So long as you have traction

people are making over 400 rwhp but with bigger cams.

you will not make anywhere close to 370 without a cam.

The tuner's estimates are WAY optimistic. LT headers & tune together will probably get you an extra 30ish.
