Re: Curious: cam regrinding a stock 350 LT-5
 

I believe that Pete has found the "sweet" spot of the 350ci LT5's. If you take a top end ported LT5 and add GVD ported heads and regrind cams to Pete's specs, you might not end up in the 450rwhp range.

As noted earlier, the amount of porting and size, plus value size, etc have changed a lot in the last few years. Most of the original Jeal schooled (old school) tuners were very conservative.

Pete has spend much time and $$$ to perfect his setup. I don't think there is anything "magic" about it. Just lots of time, effort, willingness to think outside the box and of course $$$.

My car's heads owe their design and performance to the Des Plaines boys.

Big tip of the hat to Pete for raising the bar. :cheers:

P.S.
Thanks Dennis that means alot to me i really appreciate it.
I'm about done researching have spend alot of time and money i was hoping to get my goal of 500 RWHP
i'm sure another set of cams might do it maybe in the future,i really doubt it,i've also learned to never say never.

Brad i'm 99.9 percent sure Corey ported your intake to todays standards.

One other thing i have learned with the ZR-1 the better your 60ft higher the MPH,1.51 60ft is killer and the DA was not too shaby all are a big factor.

Heck most cars run 1-2MPH better at ATCO.

Does a cam regrind, to the specifications mentioned in this thread, impact the emissions? Every two years I need to get my car tested, and the emissions must be in a certain target for idle and mid-range rpm.
