Well guy's it time to get real serious about this protouring thing.I am going to quit talking about food.And start doing some major work on the camaro.Will be looking into some real HP. upgrade's.Also looking at way's to take some wt. out of the car.I am thinking a Magnuson 2300 supercharger will fit under the hood.And that and a Cam & heads up grade will be just what We need to make the car a real contender at the up coming event's.Stay tuned,Same Bat time,same bat channel.

Don't waste your money on a cam and heads, the stock pistons are going to be the limiting factor. You'll only be able to safely run about 6 psi of boost with the cast pistons.

I was going to run the double forged piston's so I can pump the boost to over 40psi.

Scott, I made 689RWHP @12psi on my last LS2 engine with a Big Cam and factory pistons.....But ofcoarse my tune was dead on and I was running Methanol Injection.The engine ran Strong for a whole Year, until I went Bigger.

With a mild cam @8psi will get you easly in the 550+RWHP Safely with a Great Tune

Did you road race it? Big difference in making dyno numbers and taking it out a flogging it for several laps.

Thank's for the info Phil.I was going to 100 proof Tenn. shine injection to gain even better spark.

thats not good thing, i have a hard enough time makin it go fast and not hitting anything as it is.

I really only need about 40 HP more to be competive w/the big dog's.So alittle waggle won't hurt that bad.
