This is a dup - as I am new to the forum and must have screwed up--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just had my LS7 dynoed. This is the LS7 i put into a c6 convertible and it got 483 RWHP with halltech filter, long tubeheaders, corsa cats, and a ported intake with an awesome Jeremy tune.
Jeremy says I can pick up more if I put the Z06 exhaust on it as the c6 exhaust is restricting it and we could not get the oil temp high enough on the dyno.
I also had the Z06 body, rotors and calipers, wheels and tires, and seats from a Z06.
It looks and runs awesome

Have to admit, I don't understand the relationship between the exhaust restriction and the oil temps.

You are right of course but I have heard Mitchell in a presentation say the C6 tranny/rear end was designed t withstand 600ft lbs of torque.
I will get hardened parts when I change out my gears. When I feel even a hint of hop I am out of it as quick as possible. Hop has virtually been eliminated with the Konis but the other day I was by myself with an near empty gas tank and I got some hop on a hard launch.

I find that hard to believe with the rears that are breaking.
Besides, why would they put so much extra margin into it? it wouldnt be cost-effective.
