Cam/Headers installed, Dyno numbers
2010 C6 Coupe 1lt MN6
Kooks 1 7/8" LT headers w/catted x-pipe
B&B Fusion exhaust
Comp Cam
467 HP
429 TQ
Are these good numbers? I dont know why but I was expecting 475-480. It sure behaves like a totally different car and sounds like a beast. I'm happy with the sound and performance of it. Thinking next I should get a 102 FAST intake and 102 TB.

Why are you gonna get a fast 102 are you just chasing after a dyno number? The stock LS3 intake has been really improved and actually flows quite well. My LS3 1 3/4 LG Super pros full exhaust bolt on has about 420 rwhp and 435 rwtq on a mustang dyno. I would say my number are average to above average to give you an example.

The FAST might not show much peak over the LS3 intake, but it will add a good amount under the curve.

When I had my fast intake it did not show a substantial increase in the lower rpms, but it wanted to pull more in the upper rpms to take rpms further thats it. I dont think it is justified to purchase a $1000 intake for a few hp.

Thanks. I dont really want to only chase dyno numbers but I would like to eventually get to 500 HP at the wheels.

Also inflate your rear tires to like 40 psi thats about 10 hp right there on the dyno.

490-500+rwhp is definitely attainable from a 'cam only' LS3 manual, I know Cartek Racing has done it, and this was long before the FAST 102 for the LS3 heads was even released:

Looks good, but with that size cam and current mods, I would be expecting somewhere around +15 RWHP and +15RWTQ SAE. I agree though, if 500 RWHP SAE is your goal, you will need to spend a lot more money with that cam to achieve your goal, such as the FAST 102, NW 102, UD, EWP... The very last HP and TQ numbers are the most expensive ones to achieve, LOL.
