Pete,

I think we have gotten a number of data points lately that suggest exhaust isn't the issue. In fact, on a stock block, intake cam may not be the constraint. We've got some pretty good numbers for stock cam stock displacement motors putting out between 430-450rwhp. I had a converstaion with FU at BG and he stated that the LT-5 was actually overcammed. I'm beginning to believe that's pretty accurate. The motor appears to have been "throttled" from the factory. Just look at the performance bump you get by simply porting the top end. This baby just needs to breathe more.
