is and e-cam, gt40 heads, and cobra intake enough to keep up with stock ls1's?

doubt it. it would be nice if it did considering i just ordered that cam and the heads are in my closet. im dropping the heads of at the machine shop tomorrow so i should be good for next weekend .

 

[legalize420]

well maybee keep up but i dont know about wining

 

[slow5poh]

that sucks ass, cause no other cam is street legal here in ca, and i dont wanna run forced induction.............

 

[v8only]

i'm from cali. How the hell are the smog techs gonna know what cam you're running? Give them the carb certs for an e cam, and run whatever the hell you want, so long as you pass smog.

that setup is similiar to the 93-95 cobra setup or an explorer block setup, which i'm finishin. you should be good for 250-270ish in the horsepower. Should be enough to challenge an lt1, but I wouldn't be taking on any ls1's anytime soon.

i could be wrong. it might be closer than i think. im just going by what happened when i lined up next to one at the track. what do the run stock. iirc he did a 12.9@ 112 with a 1.9 60'. does that sound like a stock ls1?

 

[DmnStr8]

Thats pretty average. I've seen LS1s run mid 13's to mid 12's stock or with just mild bolt ons. A good driver could probably shave a few tenths of that as well. LS1's trap high though

 

[V8SHME8]

The crane cams are smog legal.

 

[legalize420]

correction 12.675 @109.64 with a 1.914 60'

 

[slow5poh]

yeah, but a bigger cam may produce hold valves open longer, etc. this could cause the car to emit more smog, and fail.

so what can i do to smash ls1's? i'd like to stay a nice reliable car and a 302.

 

[shttygtstang]

or go to emmisions then install

 

[legalize420]

anyone know around what rwhp range with this combo.

 

[mattkimsey]

That combo with gearing should keep up 6speed cars and probably beat most stock a4's. Drop a few hundred pounds or spray a 50shot and you shouldn't have any problems.

 

[luckythirteen13]

270rwhp at best.
you can stay emissions legal and run much better heads and intake.

 

[slow5poh]

yeah, i already have 3.55's.

edelbrock has the performer heads that are legal - they are supposedly awesome heads, and i also have a set in my closet lol maybe in two weeks for me buddy!

if you are a skilled driver, you might have an ls1 off the line if he sucks. ls1's are kinda hard to launch without spinning the tires off. an e-cam, intake, and those heads with a fresh tune and some sticky tires and you have got a dam good shot at it...or at least staying ahead of his blind spot anyway.ls1's always get crazy high mph's while the ET's are off probobly from bad launches.

 

[IntenseBlue]

You should keep up with or even outrun them until 105 or so. Then it's over.

 

[slow5poh]

well if i can outrun one 0-60 i think i would be happy.

 

[slow5poh]

what about the holley systemax?

and why do i need a tune? i have thought the stock computer was good until 300 hp!
