what would be a good estimate at the rwhp an lt1 can make, having ported heads and a gm hot cam, mid length headers and borla exhaust, and a tune
i have entirely too many mods, stall, heads, headers, intake, RR's, adn my shit only put down 275, and 340 at the crank with a crappy tune, i know can get 300 out of it, ill post what i get after my cam is in and a better tune
i thought the lt1 put down around 270 stockQuote:

The HOT cam is definitely NOT the cam to choose if you wanna make big power.Quote:
