High HP stock LS2's
I posted this in the Tech page but since many of you went through this, I wanted to ask here as well. I'm looking to see who's got what. Not looking for 1/4 mile times, looking for crank hp/rwhp numbers from N/A LS2's. Prefer A4/A6 but M6 info would be good to know. My combo is 480 rwhp with stock bottom end and wanting to see what else is out there. I'm thinking about a supercharger but want to see some before and after examples.

Just over 650
I have a stock bottom end, and it about 650/550 @ 6#. I am now at 10# and I am going to get the car retuned soon and I'm sure to be over 700. I will advise that if you plan on making lots of power, be smart and buy a tru cool 40k. It will keep the heat off the transmission. Well worth the 100 dollars when you think of transmission rebuilds are over 4K each. Let's just say the stock transmission will not hold up if temps are high. I have had the procharger setup for over 10 years.

Made 760 through a manual transmission. Ran like that for 8 seasons before I decided to do a new build with significantly more power.
Supercharge it and don't look back. The secrets to long life of the stock internals is good tune, always good fuel (I splashed a couple gallons of MS 109 in each tank) and regular maintenance.
Make sure your tuner knows what he is doing.
Make sure you have a proper fuel system.
Run meth.
Be aware of what your car is doing (in the immortal words of Ty Webb, "be the ball")

14psi, E85, cam, stock bottom end otherwise.. 50K miles so far, so far so good. Not sure what that is RWHP wise but it should be a good bit
Avoiding knock is really the key. E85 and/or meth

Making right at 800 rwhp. on a Dynojet. Was 730 rwhp on a Mustang when the tune was first done. Only internal mods are cam, springs and pushrods. Using Meth but not turning up the power with it, just using it for safety. Engine wants much more timing and can probably make a fair bit more power with timing but keeping it safe so making slightly less on Meth than without. M6 car.

Most of us didn't dyno the car as a baseline before the mods because we just don't care. That being said, mine made 374 whp with headers, intake and tune. I'm guessing 330 to 340 was stock whp. Blown power listed above your snide posts but beneath your original post.

Yea a little 100,000+ sbe ls2, currently at 115 and 700+ daily driven.
A mix of:
Custom ground cam
PRC heads that brought the compression up a little
ported stock tb + fast 102
headers/cat delete
vararam
I literally swapped everything but the cam back to stock when the blower went on. It's a NA cam but I'm too lazy to open it up that far.
