As many of you know the LS1 in my car took a "dump" ( #7 ring) in May. nutkick.gif


Happy to report that car is now sporting a LS6 with a 228/232 cam, stock heads, and a grocery list of small items.

People that did the work are not sponsors, so leaving the name out. If you want the info pm me and happy to share.

we dynoed the car yesterday...........440 rwhp and 409 rwtq 2thumbs.gif

Hey Gary, this isn't LS1tech nutkick.gif , if you had work done you are allowed to share that information here. That way anyone looking can find the info at anytime.

Those #s sound good to say the least!

How do you like it over the old setup? :

Are you changing anything else to take advantage of your added ponies?

Ok here goes.....All work done by NEW ERA Performance in Rochester NY

New LS6 (04 corvette) Long block
NEW ERA cam.......SSHT 228/232 600 lift @ 111LSA
American Racing Headers
Ported throttle body
double roller timing chain
ported oil pump
LS6 intake( stock)

And a small grocery list of small items ( mostly for longevity, not performance)

Car was dynoed @ New Era, I was there for each pull. No tricks no bs........just 440 rwhp and 409 rwtq. 85degree day with 29% relative humidity.

other than cam and headers block is stock, no head work no "magic" 2thumbs.gif

What springs did you use?

It'll be interesting to see what the differences in our engines are. Mine is roughly the same, but with a reverse-split cam. I'm assuming you have LS6 heads. I've got stock 243 LS1 heads. So, that will make a small difference. And, I'm sure that my dyno day (tomorrow) will be 95* and 90% humidity.

But, I'm more interested in the shape of the curve, rather than numbers. Do you have a pic of the curve itself? I wanted mine to give me more mid-range, with some tradeoff up high.

Patriot Gold duals. Heads are stock LS6 never touched. Dyno was posted on that "other" board (starts with LS1...ends with tech) under ls1/ls6 engine. Mine pulls up to 6500.....sweet spot seems to be in the 3500-6500 rpm range.

I will know better when I go to my next ( read 1st this year!!!) track event at the end of August.

Exhaust system is a GMMG you will have to go to the web site for American Racing Headers for the info on the primary's. I used the 1 7/8 w/o cats!
