Default 418cid 418 Stroker LT1 Makes 575hp 525lb ft @ Texas Speed

Just wanted you guys to know we just installed a stroker LT1 in our shop 14 vette & she made very respectable power.

Car made 575rwhp & 525lb ft of torque on a dyno jet dyno.

For reference we've built another 416 LT1 stroker that made about 675 flywheel horsepower on the superflow 902 dyno.

I'll get you guys some sound clips asap!

How big of a cam did you use in the 575hp build?

How's the oil pressure, since this will be an inevitable question, I will just ask it now....

And yes, cam specs will be nice, at least give us an approx....in the 220s, 240s? Lift? AFM? VVT?

Nice results! Seems like the LT1 6.2 stroked compared to a LS3 stroked is worth about 25hp/25tq; would you agree? That DI sure is nice.

That'd be hard to say because we dont know cam spec vs cam spec and head specs too.

I'm thinking avg amongst all stroked LS3's I've seen but I get your point. Most stroked LS3's have a FAST as part of the build; I'm assuming thats not even available for a LT1 today correct?

This is generally speaking so no need to say it's not apples to apples. Similar builds to some degree is what I'm thinking.

Guys the camshaft was in the 240s duration. I put a 235 duration camshaft in it now & will tune this week. I expect to sell the car shortly & get ready for the C7 z06 cars.

We finished header test fitting on it last week & the new TSP C7 headers are going to be awesome!!

Hey Jason. So I am getting the TSP 418 ci stroker via RCI performance now as the rotating assembly is available sooner. I'm almost afraid of how much power its going to make with 12lbs boost, heads, cam, headers, alky.

Get notified of new replies
