2008 LS-3 update with LG Pro Long tubes and a K & N air charger
Hi guys,
My guys have been sending me graphs from the 2008 Corvette all day but I did not get the one with just our headers. The numbers are 418rwhp 413rwtq with just LG Headers no cats.
Here is the graph that includes the K&N Air Charger on this 2008 LS-3 with the M6 transmission.
These numbers with just headers and filter match what a cam only car with headers and a filter use to do. So in effect the extra cubes and air flow in the heads matches what a Cam package would give up in the past.
thanks for your patience. 423rwhp 426rwtq with Just LG Pro Long Tubes and K&N!
Tuning software in a couple of weeks.

Ok, now for the big question -
What's the costs for the LG Pro Long Tubes headers, new cats, new x-pipe in stainless steel for '08 6-speed coupes and convertibles?
When will you have the system ready for shipping?
Thanks.

That's incredible. Is it true that it's only 27 hp off from stock Z06 numbers? From just headers... no tune?! Not even broken in yet?? Amazing.

Melting Slicks
a guy i know, his dad's pulled 444 stock (this only 21 behind). another guy that had a lightly MODDED z, pulled only 437 tq (this only 11 behind).
that means:
444rwhp = 505bhp
423rwhp = 481.5bhp
426.4rwtq = 485btq
remember it also has better heads, cam, intake manifold, air bridge, exhaust, and gearing.

It's hard not to get excited about LG's tests when you have one on order(build date july 23rd yay).
But I gotta say, we gotta keep our excitement a little under control until a few magazines test them and we see what some of the members run in the 1/4 mile.
Needless to say, if the 08s hit under 4 seconds 0-60 and somewhere around 12.2 in the 1/4 mile, I would be very happy indeed. If it's 4.1 and 12.5 I would be happy anyway.

We have them in stock ready to ship.
If any of you remember, we did the R&D with the L92 Truck heads which were the same as these heads but now it has more cubes
Thanks guys.

Will the 06, A-6 coupe LG Long tubes fit on the 08 coupe M-6 and A-6? Thanks.
