I guess spinning the 5.0 engine an extra 800-1000rpms doesn't cause any extra heat, which compounds the lean issue. LOL
This is a joke right?? LOL, "Way before", LOL
What was your 1/8 mi mph?
We're still waiting on that dyno......
It's only a matter of time before your engine goes. It's an LS2 not a Boss 302.
Not not really, turning that kind of rpm with the 5.0 is no problem at all... except when your a/f ration is 15:1 on the number 8 cylinder, then you have a problem, but that has nothing to do with the rpm...
I already answered the 1/8th mph question and explained the situation.. and i am waiting on the dyno as well... also i'm really not sure why the term "way before" is that funny to you.. i can be literal and say several hundred feet...
ignorance troll is ignorant..

This whole thing is a joke, right? You're just having fun with us, right?
OP, I saw a lot of very experienced members trying to educate you but you keep getting wise without trying to learn. Keep posting though. Your true personality and intelligence is coming out.
I am indeed having fun with you... but just because someone is an experiance member does not mean that they are the end all be all guide to all things correct in the lsx world.. several examples are here in this very thread..

You seem to know a lot about mustangs... Do you even own a corvette?

Not trying to rain on your parade, but I have headers, tune, and ud pulley, and my base line was 369 rwhp. I added a cam and Fast intake, and tweaking did not get me to 420 (close, though - it was 95 degrees out - S FLA summers). Granted, I also put a 3200 stall that would take away a bit on my readings, but you are saying your LS2 gets more power with the same mods that even an LS3 would get??? That is a very friendly dyno indeed.
Yes, i do own a corvette.. And thanks, i do know a decent amount about mustangs. I know even more about corvettes though..
Well I just wondered because your garage is empty and there are no photos of your car other than the avatar pic; which looks nice but could be anyones car in a parking lot.

Maybe this will bring this tread back to the OP.
My O5 started at about 347HP/346tq
Here's a video of my 05 from 2007.
Stock engine, Z06 Manifolds/cats and modified H-Pipe, BBTriflow catback, blackhawk intake, 4L65e, 3.15 gears.
365/361

well, you caught me.. I just love to waste my time on a forum for a car that i do not have... and buy and sell parts for said nonexisting car from/on said forum..
In all seriousness, it is my car in the avatar, and thank you for calling it nice..

what is this suppose to be? my car does not have a 4l65 or any of the mods you have, not even the same gears in neither the differential nor the transmission.. I guess those are ok numbers for an auto..

I agree. I don't believe anyone is the be-all end-all of anything but there is a lot to be learned in here.
So attitude aside. What do you really believe your car made and will make with your planned mods? Perhaps you have come upon an extremely efficient combination of parts and tuning.
Not not really, turning that kind of rpm with the 5.0 is no problem at all... except when your a/f ration is 15:1 on the number 8 cylinder, then you have a problem, but that has nothing to do with the rpm...
I may be missing something, but how can tuners tune for the leanest cylinder? Last I knew they used a wide band O2 sensor at the tailpipe or in a bung welded in the header. Where did the 15:1 at #8 cylinder come from - a guess or actual AFR druing a pull? If you claim the latter then I call BS.
And running a stock top end LS2 to 7k is playing Russian roulette with your motor. If you believe that it's safe just because your motor hasn't bone kaboom yet, then more power to you.
And I tend to agree with the majority here... I pulled 384/392 with Headers ported stock LS2 intake and CAI on a Mustang dyno (probably in the 400 rwph range on a Dynojet).

All things aside, realistically i believe it put down in the neighborhood of 400 to 410, I don't believe i found a special combonation of parts but i did take a considerable amount of time to pick them.. I have 1 3/4 stepped headers with a 3" collector, going into a 3" x-pipe with 3 1/2" cutouts after the x.. Just a regular slp %25 underdrive, some arp (not arp 2000 if you want rodbolts and are not going to rehone the big ends of the rods get the regular arp rod bolts and install them one at a time) varram, and a lightweight flywheel... the tune is probably the most agressive you can get without blowing the car up..

Well if you know what the heck your doing you can use plug checker and read off of the spark plugs.. then fatten up the af a little bit and you're good... and i just pulled the 15:1 as an example not an actual occurance.. I personally do not know how much leaner the #8 cylinder is a/f ratio wise but i do know it is a considerable amount...
I thought that it was pretty impressive for a bolton ls2 car to make those kind of numbers. I thought some of you would appreciate it. uncorrected of course.. but it still made them all the same..
The point people are trying to make to you is your car did NOT make 430 RWHP,despite what the dyno said. It was wrong,simple as that.
There's a thread in the Z06 section where someone is claiming 700 lb/ft. of torque on a bone stock Z06 just because a dyno had a hiccup.....and he got the same (correct) responses you are getting.

There is no point to make.. I JUST STATED THE TRUTH ABOVE ^^^^...
Get off of your high horse... You are trying to prove something or explain something that you have literally NO CLUE about and are coming off as a know it all (which is far from the truth)..

Fine then hero....you don't know me from Adam, but have resorted to name calling I see.
I've ran a best of 11.32 in my bone stock 2007 Z06. According to you,you're just a FAST intake away from what my Z06 dynoed at.

Let me know when you get there.
Where did i call you a name?? Also just because you ran a decent time in a 500+hp car does not mean that you know what you are talking about. especially if the car is stock, that just means you are a decent driver... . And how do you make transitions like that when you talk/type.. Your thought process= I have a toy rocketship and my car flys, but i guess your just $1 away from having a lollipop..
btw when did i mention amount of hp after a fast? you are just arguing for the fun of it.. I explained the truth of the situation and you still ramble on..
