Proven Heads/ Cam Combinations
I would appreciate it if some of our H/C-modifying forum members would sound-off on the combinations of heads and cams that they have tried on the C6 and the results/gains achieved.
I am particularly interested in level of power reached?
Track proven results?
Driveability?
I have an 07 Z51 M6 that I am considering modifying with a H/C setup. I am curious if others are achieving anywhere near the 490 rwhp that LG is advertising in their new package (along with LG headers, the new manifold, intake, etc.) Thanks.

I hit 470 in my A4 with 3200 stall (which would be 490ish in a 6spd) with LPE Stage III heads (60cc, 2.055/1.57) and a little street friendly 224/228 cam, FAST intake, UD pulley, LPE CAI and MAF. Runs great, and is a monster.
I took it to a friend's track (dragstrip), and ran an 11.57/124 on 305 Bridgestone street tires with stock 3.15 gears.

We just unstrapped a C6 off our dyno with our newest Heads/Cam setup. It put down 485.28rwhp with our mild "C" Cam and Trick Flow heads. We have a new cam under development that should break the 500rwhp #.

Suggest you ask this over in the tuner forum as well. There is a lot of good combo's and when they need to be tuned after install the tuner is the one who will then tell you if it was a good combo or not.

Thanks, guys. These are exactly the kind of responses I was looking for. Please keep 'em coming.For whatever reason, I did not realize how much power you H/C guys were squeezing out of the LS2.

On our old setup making 454 rwhp, we've gone 10.9 @ 127. At that time there wasn't the tuning software that there is now.
Our newer setups are making 500+ rwhp with our heads and our 4x cam. They should be much deeper in the 10s.
We've got a real good handle on the H&C setups.

Looking for the somethingthing still, What would you reccomend for a cam to go with my 225 TEA Trickflows/Fast 90 ported set up ? I daily drive it at times but is not my primary vehicle. I would be installing it myself and would have hours upon hours of tuning at disposal.Thanks.
