Re: hp estimate please

With no cam specs its hard to say but according to my desktop dyno you should be in the 325 hp range maybe 350hp with the custom tune.

You already asked once. I moved it to the LTX and LSX engine swap subforum because that's where we discuss LTx engines.

Re: hp estimate please

Stock 94 LT1 rated at 275 chp.
Add 50 hp (maybe) for your mods. 325 chp.
Less 20% gets you 260 whp.
260 whp in a 3650 lb vehicle might get you 14 sec at 98 mph.

my car weighs 3440lbs with me in it and a 1/4 tank of gas so i might do a little better than 14 sec

Re: hp estimate please

well stock i think the lt1s ran low 14s i think around a 14.2 or so, so with those mods if i had to guess id say youd be around 14 flat or so depending on suspension you could gain more, its not all in the amount of power your putting to the ground its how you put it to ground.

Re: hp estimate please

Stock 305? cuz i got a best of 15.09 with my stock 305 stock suspension and my friends 350 tpi does a best of 14.8 all stock. and from what i see your lt1 is pretty much stock unless i missed something. so i would be happy with right around a 14

15.09 thats pretty quick for a stock 305 tpi auto,most stock 305 tpi auto's ive seen run 15.4-15.6,my 305 had stock bore full bolt ons,p&p heads, ram air ,stock suspension and no tune(hypercrap chip) ,yeah my lt1 is pretty much stock but i seen a stock lt1 trans am on youtube with only a cutout,tune and 3200 stall and it ran a 13.8@98mph and from what the 1/4 mile calculator i used said a car weighing 3440lbs with a whp of 260 would run a 13.7,but like i said well see this spring and i would be fine with a flat 14
