Default LS2 Final Engine Mod Predictions

Penny for your thoughts?... At this point I have done almost everything I wanted to do to the A6 LS2 engine. Those mods include:

Airaid Intake, CNC Ported TB, Fast 102 (not ported), LPE GT11 Cam, Coated 1 3/4 Kooks + Coated Catted X pipe, Borla touring, RPM Motorsports Tune.

Engine Mods left to do: GMPP Valve covers, Coil relocation, MSD Wires, LPE polished and ported 243 Heads.

So with these final mods, what do you think the LPE heads will add? Not just looking for peak additions, but do you think low end tq will be helped by the heads? Predictions???

You can probably expect to pick up 25-35 rwhp with a tune. The cam will give you more power than the heads, but they are meant to complement each other. As far as low end torque, you'll probably see about 1/2 the peak hp figure in the form of low-end torque. That's my prediction.
