Default ECS blows....

most of the cars that come into the shop...except mine. I opted to stay N/A and they built me one heck of a LS2 based 402. The results below speak for themselves. Just so you know, this is a compeltely forged motor sporting redecked ETP 215 heads (can't remember the exact compression, but I use 93 pump gas, and the dyno was done with Shell 93 in the tank), a custom ground ECS cam (it's big ), custom ECS SD tuning, Fast 90 intake/NW 90 TB, and Aussie single disc clutch, 1 7/8" American Racing Headers (thank you Carmen ) sans cats thru my stock Z06 Ti's and running 4.10 gears in the back. This was done this morning with ambient temps in the mid-upper 80's and it being semi humid out...no dyno tricks. I can say that with perhaps a different cat-back and with different gears I think they would have easily achieved 565+rwhp and 510+rwtq...but I'm not complaining. The drivability is very good, considering this cam is not for the faint of heart.

All in all, thanks to the entire Cream Ridge Crew...Chris, Doug, Marc, Mike, John and of course Christy for the hard work and effort put in.

Congrats on the numbers. Looks like you are going to have a lot of fun with that NA beast. Better invest in some good tires.

Post a video clip of that big cam sound. Should be interesting to hear that engine combo.

Those are some serious numbers given that it still has a stock exhaust and those 4.10's are robing a good 15rwhp as well compared to 3.42.

Those ETP heads are awesome.

I have to admit, I was suprised by the results. However, it is what it is, and I think more people will start to use ETP heads based on outcomes such as this.

BTW, I forgot to mention that the A/F ratio was a nice safe 12.2-12.4 throughout.
