Talking about the ThunderChicken Formula
Hey guys
Just read the Thunderchicken Part 2 article in GMHP. They made somewhere around 400 hp with the cc305 and shorties among other things. Why do you guys think they went with the cc305. Seems alittle small for a 396 huh? and after dropping all that cash building it. Maybe they know something. Are we all overcamming?

I think GMHP always talks rwhp so I am assuming it is. Maybe wrong here though.
Duriablity? they did the first tear down at 50k miles. That's a lame excuse. emissions? I can see that though.

400 rwhp is not bad.
I think you have to keep in mind that everyone has different goals. You may have a different standard than someone else where as most people would be ecstatic having a 400 rwhp car that they can drive to work everyday and then tell their friends that they're making some 50 hp more than a new Z06.
To some 500 rwhp aint enough... the list and expectations go on.......

I can see that. I guess you just don't see many that go "all out" and do the stoker thing with rev kit, head work, ect. and put such a small cam in it when they are so cheap relatively speaking compared to all the other mods.

I dont know, but 400rwhp with a 396 seems kind of low, im sure they would squeeze a bit more out of it with a bigger cam, how can that thing even idle right with that small of a cam, i hear people with the big strokers saying that their 236/242 or 306 "really tame" the motor down.
