350 HP for $1000?
Kinda have a goal set for myself now. So far, I've got the following:
LS1 Fans,
PaceSetter LT's w/ ORY & Magnaflow,
Nelson Tuned,
Custom CAI,
Free mods, EGR, TB bypass
I just bought a 2k Vette cam with specs:
2000 LS1 Y-car 12560968 0.5 0.5 207 198 115.5 112/119
And the stock truck cam being:
2000 LR4 12560967 0.466 0.457 190 191 114 112/116
The cam puts me right at $1000.
Think I can make it to 350? Discuss.

To the wheels? Yeah, you'll be short. I've got the mods in my sig and I am sitting at 321 to the wheels. Granted I need so more tuning to be done, think I can get another 10-15 hp outta the cam, but yeah.

Yeah most 4.8's I've dynoed are in the 240-250 RWHP mark to start with:
LS1 Fans good for 3-5 HP
PaceSetter LT's w/ ORY & Magnaflow good for 15-20 HP
Nelson Tuned good for 10-15 HP
Custom CAI good for 8-12 HP
Free mods, EGR, TB bypass good for 3-5 HP
Cam good for 15-25 HP
About 50-65 RWHP from what i have seen on dynos ... back to my 300-310 RWHP in BEST case senario favoring newer trucks 03+

I made 252rwhp with the following mods on my 03 4.8 in the dead of the summer(90 degree temps) on a Dynojet.
K&N FIPK2
Flowmaster 50 series catback
Nelson 93 octane tune
Transgo + vette servo
Everything else was stock-3.42's open diff
