But, the most Mike feels adding a complete cam package including lifters, springs, push rods and all the other needs items would get the car to 850rwhp. Thus, it would only add an additional 75rwhp more horsepower. So, I could be at 850rwhp, trap 140mph+ and be in the low 9 seconds in the 1/4 mile. But, at that point the stock LT4 blower is holding the power back. The CAM package install would add an additional week to the build time, so that's not a big deal. But, the price is a bit steep and only getting an additional 75rwhp. At that point, I'm not sure I shouldn't just wait until this fall and do the rest of what's needed for a full Katech Stage 4 package that includes a Magnuson 2650. Then the LT4 blower is no longer the limiting factor.

Thanks for the insight. Understand the money vs power issue. Can't imagine more than what I have on the street with traction being a factor. By the way I am running stock heads, vlv's and new springs, lifters, rods. Of course if you are tracking the car can't wait to see your times. Good luck going forward sounds like a winner.

There are some out there that are quite the contrary and post numbers that as asininely high. You can always tell from the baseline. When stock LT4 cars make 580RWHP you know its "fairy power" as we call it.

Mike, what is your take on the % of change between Mustang and Dynojet tune numbers?

Having a baseline is all that matters. They all read differently.

Run on the same dyno before and after mods to measure the actual gain.

I found this here:

Update: Received my Baseline Dyno from Mike just now! On around E15 and with it running out of fuel pressure around 5600 RPM (It's dropping between 400psi to 600psi below command), here are the results !!! I know there is probably some level of belt slippage, I have a stock length green belt installed. After getting my blower back from Kong after the X-ported was done and the 2.3 upper was installed. I was unable to get the smaller green belt installed. Probably due to the FI Interchillers block plates I installed as these raise the blower about a 1/4 higher.

THANKS MIKE !!!

The current green belt is the same length as stock, but it was the only one I could get on by myself.

THANKS MIKE !!!

Looks like a whole lot of belt slip to me!
Good news, she is in good hands now!

So that should have read... fuel pressure is dropping between 400psi to 600psi below command at top.

Update: Katech let me know yesterday that the car is on a lift and is being worked on!!! I feel that's about a week later than the original time frame Mike and I talked about. But, I knew that the jobs ahead may/could run into issues that would delay their completion and delay the start on mine. Katech will provide photos as the work progresses and I'll update them here as soon as I get them!!

Congrats!!!, Very Exciting!!!

Update: Mike from Katech emailed yesterday. He said my Camaro is on the lift and work has started and they will make a lot of progress this week. So, more photos to head my way! It will probably be sometime next week or worse case, the being of the following week (I hope) when I go get her! It's a bit weird walking into the garage and seeing the empty spot where I normally park my Camaro! Adding to that, I've noticed a few things starting to creep their way into the garage floor area where it's normally parked! I quickly told everyone in my household there will be no disrespecting the Camaro while she's visiting Katech! They looked at me like I was an alien from another planet! Perfect, that must mean they know I'm serious!

Dampener and larger 9.45" lower installed!

[2023_ZL1-AUTO]

Update: Mike sent additional progress report and photos at the end of the day yesterday! 1) Exhaust is off in preparation for the fuel tank to come out, 2) Wheel well liner is out in preparation for the fuel pump controller to be routed and 3) New valve covers are installed. Not pictured but being worked on. 1) Port plates assembled, 2) Fuel lines being built. Needed to order 2 more fittings which should be here tomorrow. I have to admit, these Katech low profile valve covers are pretty dang sweet looking !

Damn... she is coming along quick now! Super exciting!
She is going to be one hell of a sleeper!
