Here's how fast and 08 accelerates
I ran a scan with my HP Tuner on my 08 auto, 2.73 w/NPP. I recorded 4.438 seconds to accelerate from 25 to 75 mph. Started from a 10-15 mph roll but calculated the time starting at 25 mph. 75 mph takes me to almost the 2-3 shift with my 2.73 gear at 6197 rpm. Ambient temperature was 94*, IAT 104*, decaying to 102* by 75 mph. I was only at 3860 rpm at 25 mph. This converter is sure tight.
Anybody have a scan of an LS2 to compare?

I was wondering how the '08 converter differs from the '06 and '07 versions (if at all) as well, my '06 converter feel very tight as well, likely very close in stall I would think.
No but if someone wants to come by with a laptop and HPT we can go test it.

I would love to come to TX (I should say come back to TX because I was there once (sleeping) for about 6 hours hours while passing through on the way CA LOL 
), land of really fast street cars and a seemingly abundant amount of truly hot looking females.

That was scan yours, not "can". Can't seem to type anymore.

Hey man to me a Simple Middle of second gear to about the end of 4th gear will determine what car has more power.. I love dyno numbers and sheets but remember not every car was dynoed the same day , conditions etc...

How are you planning on going from 25-75 mph on the track???
You mentioned about the seconds it took you to go from a certain mph to another how can you do that at the track??

BTW, the cars of which I speak are not dyno racers - and they do have badazz LS2 based cars.
( I can give you some names if you like, but hang out here long enough and they will be apparent without any fanfare...)

Obviously it won't be from 25-75 mph at the track. My 25-75 is the time I could get safely on the freeway. That would make a good comparision for anyone that has ran a scan on their LS2. And that would give you a good comparison of hp. Not necessarily what each would ET at the track due to traction, drive skill and whatever.

Well the role of the opponent would be to see if he can win but of course the role of the challenger would be see if his car is making more power by racing from a roll.
Of course after they both do this they can stop at a local eatery for a coffee and a roll (or bagel).
Hopefully some of you will be rolling on the floor laughing

LS1LT1,
I've heard of racing from a roll (or bagel) at tracks too.
A rolling start from 25-75 is certainly not what I had in mind with my post. I just want someone with a C6 that has HP Tuner to compare scans with me!
