I have a few Questions about Terminators
Seems like most of the ones around here put down around 375rwh stock and the full bolt on ones around 450ish. That is very impressive. One question I have is how come I dont see many heads/cam termis? Everyone I have seen has stock internals. Are they really that good from the factory? What makes the engine itself better than the ls1? Or is it really a matter of opinion?
Thanks

Problem is not many are stock. It takes very little coin to get these cars into much higher HP/TQ numbers.

to answer your question ...the heads are 4v so they already flow good numbers ..so the need for reworked heads arent that big of a deal ...could a modded term see gains..you bet your ass it would ...but cost comes into play...besides that..as the car cam stock with F/I its cam profile will favor boost ...so again cost over gain...the biggest being cost ...there is power to be had with a h/c but for most why not spend that money on bolt ons or a good chuck of a KB and watch the power skyrocket ....i believe the h/c is for those going all out.

Kinda off subject a little, but...
I am not up to speed on the Cobra motors, but I know one of my best friends is running upwards of 20 lbs of boost using a 3.4L Whipple S/C on his stock 4.6 L Modular DOHC V8 in his '04 Mercury Marauder. He has had it at the track and made passes into the 10's and that is one heavy car. He DYNO'd 831rwhp and 780rwtq if I remember right.

He has it set-up for a 200 shot also...but has never sprayed it..YET.
Last two times out he broke an axle on launch...not sure what the plans are for it..haven't talked to him in a few months.

I really wanted to buy a termi and test drove a couple of them and driving my friends for a day really put me off. The clutch is extremely stiff, sitting position was terrible and had to reach forward to get to the shifter and just couldnt picture myself doing this as a DD car. When i threw it into a corner the rear end didnt communicate well and the car just felt heavy to me. Is it a great car for the money and especially the amount of power you can get out of it, no doubt. In the end i bought another camaro and never looked back, its just preference.

So what does a full bolt on, heads/cammed termi dyno?
Highest E/I/C/H LS1 I have seen was 488 I believe.
