2005 LS2, G6XE dyno results
Hey folks, recently I traded in my '98 C5 which was in really rough shape, for a c6. It has a stock motor LS2, vararam, LG super pro 1 3/4" catted headers, Z06 mufflers with M2W and LG's G6XE cam all tuned by them. I don't really have much info other than the car has 74k miles on it and it drives like stock, I can lug it around at 900 rpm all day long if I want to.
Two different graphs, one is with the muffler valve open and one shut. Here is the graph:
future mods: port the 243's, g6x3, z06 muffler mod and fast 102/102, NX express kit my friend has laying around.

The cats aren't holding you back that much. Maybe 3-5 hp. Not worth the effort.

You should consider the AFR205s. They can be had used pretty cheap and they will work better with that cam. I did the AFR215s with that cam and the cam just didn't come close to maximizing the potential of those heads. I went from 467 with the AFR215s, XE & Fast 102 to 492 with just a cam change.

Awesome!. 102/102 should add you 25-30 wheel. When you do the G6X3 you will make over 500 I am sure.

I'm sure the 102/102 combo is way overkill for my current setup and I wouldn't be surprised if I lost even more bottom end, but I am shooting for that magical 500 number when it's all said and done with the other mods I mentioned before.

I believe the Trick Flow as cast 220's are a great value, might want to look into them while your evaluating replacement heads for your LS2.

Sounds about inline for an X1....are you sure it is the G6X1 and not a G5X1?
A FAST intake will make a big change in torque, not so much peak, but a ton more across the board.
Of course if you are looking at going to a bigger cam, might I suggest a G5X3 on a 112 over the G6X3, but that would depend on what you do for heads.

See track results in sig.
Very happy with this cam and LG's support!

I've always had amazing customer service/parts from you guys at LG and I'd like to keep this car in your house. :-)
