Nice job. I am gonna be doing that here very soon, but my car is already tore down. Have fun with the headers.

Kurtomac

corvette8189

post sound clip I like to hear it cause I might get the same cam I got the LG headers
and will that cam work with after market heads or only stock

Kurtomac

hmm i thought the ls2 chain was a direct replacement and was to be used with our ls1/ls6 gears.....reason i asked is cuz your timing gear looks different than the ls6

out comes the 236 238 601 605 113+2 XER comp

in goes the 236 244 618 621 111+3 LSL Comp

That is the Ls2 timing gear set installed.

Nice! Pat G grind? I want to swap out my cam that he speced for me for a different one...not happy at all with my numbers (433/402 with cam, ported fast 90/90, lt, pulley, vararam) Lookin forward to your results

Kurtomac

ya its a pat g grind....i wouldnt be unhappy with those numbers....thats easy 470rwhp with a good set of heads....470 rwhp with a low 230s cam is stout...plus you said it was street tuned...how do you know if timing was optimal on the dyno?
look at this pic.....look what 2 degrees of timing does

golfinz

I had it tuned on the street b/c we didnt have access to a dyno. Plus with the vararam, the airflow on the street vs the dyno is soooo much different. I plan on getting on a dyno with my laptop and hpt to see if I can get things moving a little better

headers went on nice and smooth

all done

golfinz

Congrats! Get a catch can while your at it...o hell get a fast 90/90 too! lol. Very impressive that you did it at home/with help

Billy looked like a little kid at christmas morning when we fired it up. I'm very pleased with the way this install went. We'll get the rest of the exhaust on tomorrow afternoon and get video of the car.
