Re: L78 Engine is back in!

I kept saying to people my L78 car felt pretty darn close to my 2000 SS for overall power/speed. My L78 had an unknown cam/piston combo with 71 oval port heads, headers and Holley 750. My 2000 SS with the automatic put down 320 rwhp and I thought the L78 was really close in power, just the L78 felt like a beast compared to how smooth the LS1 is. Sounds good Sam! Get it fine tuned and it probably will be around 310-320 rwhp.
