I'll have to talk to my tuner and see what he thinks. Seems like the btr stage II is popular and easy on the valvetrain. That is my biggest thing. Don't really care for how it drives since it's not driven much anymore. Just the spiritual driving on the weekends. Plus winter is coming to MO. Almost time to pack her in for the long hibernation lol

my cars in the shop right now for a heads and cam build....ported and milled heads along with a BTR stage 2 cam and catless 2" ARH headers.... it baselined 436/414.... it's all being done in 91 octane also.... can't wait to see/hear the results

Yes, this is pretty much what I expect. I definitely still want that cammed lope and shake but if its reduced to save on valvetrain and parking lot manners, so be it.

You could get a cam with the same overlap and LSA but more lift to match ported heads. You'd have a better core and lobes if you go with EPS or Cam Motion. Kind of a Stock+ cam.

I'm at 525.1rwhp with the stock cam and giving some consideration to the Katech Torquer 116 or the Lingenfelter LS7 GT17. I want the car to drive like stock or close to it, which is why I didn't go with a cam. I also don't want more noticeable exhaust smell. I read one post that said you give up some low end torque with the 116 over the stock cam and that's not good either. I will probably leave it alone - the car is plenty fast now, but if I could pick up another 35-40rwhp I wouldn't complain, but don't want the undesirable side affects I previously described.

I went back and forth on aftermarket cam vs stock...almost went with Cam Motions "old stage 2", which had just a minor bump in lift...something like .612/.603. Decided I'd just keep it stock with a few minor bolt-ons. Can barely reach the speed limit where I live nowadays anyways.

Wow!
Did you see the post on Hib Halverson's Katech Build? 625 hp on the engine dyno (with dyno headers) and 546 rwhp on the chassis dyno with the Torquer 116 cam and stock exhaust. Very impressive results for "mild" build.

Max Power on Stock

Since dyno numbers can be all over the place, sure. You can do that on a near stock car if you find the right dyno.

Do you guys think 540 ish WHP is feasible on a stock cam w/ full bolts on and E-85?
I'd to keep 100% stock drivability. The most power I've seen is Redbird555 w/ 530ish whp without even porting/milling his heads.
Anyone out there with silly power running the stock cam?

Like I said above, I am at 525.1rwhp with the stock cam. If I would have ported the MSD, I would be over 530rwhp. All bolt-ons with Stage 2 ported heads.

Stock ZO6 varies from 440-470 on a dynojet. Mine dyno'd at 469. Like others have said, friendly dyno, full bolt-ons plus little stuff like catless and porting/milling will do it.

Sure - Calloway CAI, Nick Williams 102mm throttle body, Mamo ported MSD, Stage 2 ported heads milled .20 and upped compression to 11.5 to 1, Dynatech long tube headers, X- pipe, high flow cats and a tune. I don't have a base line tune, but my guess would be around 450whp, so I picked up around 75whp and over 100 at the crank. If you figure a 15% driveline loss, the car would be around 619 at the crank. I have kind of forgotten how the car performed stock since it was over two years ago, but it is nothing like it was. The current whp is 526 - I had the MSD ported by Tony and I didn't pick up much of anything and he said that was because of the stock cam. Really not worth porting it if you have the stock cam - not enough lift and duration to take advantage of the porting.
