05 C6 going under the knife **UPDATE: with vid clip **
*** UPDATED WITH VIDEO ***
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ9b_sxnwPU
Ok... I dropped off my 05 C6 @ a local shop to get a cam kit, ported/polished TB and a dual roller chain installed along w/a dyno tune.
Current specs:
2005 DSOM C6 Z51
M6 tranny
stock cubes
coated LT headers
Corsa exhaust w/X-pipe
supposedly ported 243 heads by Lingenfelter (we'll find out)
Hurricane CAI
They're going to pick a cam out so I'll post up after that gets selected. I'll let you know about the results after its done.

ok, my C6 does not have ported heads. Could of been a lie from the previous owner to the dealer or the dealer to me. Dunno, dont care.
Pre-cam install w/my above mods and stock 243 heads my car is putting down 390 RWHP.
I'll post up after my car is done/tuned.

ok, I'm thinking tomorrow, if all goes well, I should be getting my car back. I briefly glanced at my cam specs and it looks similiar to a Texas Speed "Tsunami" cam.
After this I'm going to weigh my next options for the summer. Either ported 243's, ported L92's or AFR's with a Spinmonster FAST intake. I'll probably do the intake pretty soon and do the heads in the summer.

yea thats the only problem. L92's ported have great results but then again, limited as to which intake to run. Then I can keep 243's, port them but I wonder how much hp they will support. Havent thought too much about it just yet.
oh, and no I dont have it yet. Its together, running, will be dyno tuned tomorrow. Sounds f'in mean though. I wont have any video clips until Thursday.. I'll post up then.
