Back in the day, I ran a 1970 LT1 in a Z-28 Camaro... It was a great car and engine. I updated the cam to a Racer Brown STX 21 solid lifter(I believe), and the 350 then made right at 400 horsepower and revved out to 7000. Roller rockers were definitely needed then as the Racer Brown cams increased action, burnt up factory rockers. That cam really brought that engine alive. The factory cam was plain lazy...

Does the LT4 make much more power than a standard LT1? I know they had a hotter cam and slightly better heads and intake. I had a customer for years that had 2 LT4 Corvettes and I was impressed in the 1990's by them. One was built by Doug Rippie though and was a 383. It was the only C4 Corvette that would keep up with the later C5 and C6 cars!

Next test...factory tri-power set ups vs single carb. Pontiac, Chrysler, Ford. I'd kill to see a 435 like mine go up against an L72. 100 cfm more carb shouldn't make that much difference, but GD that 435 is a monster. I made mine an L-89 but that's just for weight and cool factor. It is 1000% factory in a '67 Corvertte coupe, but I'd happily go up against any engine from back in the day. Lost a little zip when I went back to a 4.10 from a 4.56, but even as a weekend car, that's a lot of noise with side pipes.

All things even, the compression, cam specs, etc, the LS1 will still out perform them all because it will flow more air, because of the more efficient heads. What I would like to see you test is a SBC with same compression, and same cam specs as the LS1, but with 15 degree heads. Who will win?

Hey Richard, I knew a guy back in the mid eighties that had a 350 with Bow tie heads and intake and GM off road cam. Possible to test factory hp parts? 450 hp? I believe it was 12 to 1 with GMs biggest off road cam (worked at a dealership) and would run 12.2 in the quarter with a th350 and 5.13 gears shifting at 7600 rpm in a 67 Chevelle.

I'll have what you're smoking. What factory GM came with 12:1 compression and why would GM make an "off-road" cam? They sold street legal vehicles, not offroad. Even if these magic "factory made" parts existed how would he be able to find them today?

@@theupscriber65 Sorry but you can look this stuff up. Chevy has been making high performance “Bow-Tie” heads and single plane intakes for years and still does. Chevy also made several off road solid lifter cams with extra duration and lift that were never installed in cars. As for the 12 to 1 I believe he milled the heads to keep the piston weight down but he may have used a dome piston. The car screamed, he even had a mechanical tach mounted on the dash which required a special distributor so cool.
