Default Between LS2-LS3
Hi, My name is Mert, im looking for a 2004-2009 c6 these days, however i need to learn something about power from u well-informed friends. Im living in Turkey, in this country 08' c6 ls3 worth 95-105$ ( 3k miles and very clean) and 05' c6 ls2 worth 75k$ ( 20-25k miles and clean ), 05 ls2 corvette is fair enough for me about price but less standart power if we compare with ls3 engines. What kind of mods (except cam or head etc.) need i use for get the ls3 power on my ls2(if im gonna have it)? Does corsa full exhaust system + 3.73 rear axle differential + 90mm Fast throttle body + good tune + vararam cai enough for reach to 200km/h 13-13.5second? ( as you know standart c6 reaches 200km/h ( ls2=15.6 - ls3=14.2 ), can i get ls3 power or less with these mods? I need help Thanks...

An LS2 with 3.73, Vararam, LT headers, dyno tune and a FAST intake (or ported stocker) should be way quicker

The question was what does it take for an LS2 to be equal to an LS2, and the answer is longtubes and a tune.

I'm not sure why people get the idea that the LS3 is in a league of it's own. All it takes is a look at the quick-list and you'll see just how close they are once modding starts.
