Default LS2 Mild Build Dyno Results

I finally got my car to the dyno today after installing all of the parts in January.

Mods: 1 7/8 kooks, callaway CAI, TSP 220R cam, TSP stage 2.5 243s, FAST 102, and bullet catback.

Final numbers: 422/409

I posted a thread about this around a month ago asking for guesses on what my final numbers would be. Looks like EricT is the winner!
Guess my dyno numbers thread

This one is a before and after tune today. The tuner did a great job. Around a 35rwtq increase in the mid range with the tune!


This one is a comparison of my first run (untuned with headers) and tuned with everything. It's a completely different car!

Is your Vette a 6 speed or AT?

I have a similar set up minus the cam...I am looking at adding a LG Motorsports X2 or X3 cam package.

I have a 2007 LS2, AT, LG LT street series headers, p&p throttle body & intake manifold, callaway honker, stock exhaust except for the headers and xpipe. I dyno at 366 hp and 372 torque.

I am looking for 400+ at the rear wheels.

What are your thoughts based on what you have done so far.

Thanks...Tom

It's an A6. Are your numbers with a tune? I would think your numbers would be a little higher. My first time to the dyno I only had the bullets and kooks installed. Before tuning my numbers were 328/350 and 359/364 after. I think (and so do a lot of people around here) that one of the best mods for an LS2 is a FAST intake. Also, looking back, I probably should've have bit the bullet and bought some aftermarket heads instead of ported stockers.

thanks for the quick reply...I did have a tune...my car is much stronger than before...but i did think the numbers would be higher. LG has already suggested the FAST when I get the cam kit.

I don't need 400+ RWHP but I want it. It will be a couple of months but I will get back to you when I get the FAST & cam installed. Tom

I have similar set up as yours w/out a Fast----my stock # was--313 rwhp---I now have --410 rwhp---got a ported Fast coming from Peak Speed---I'll let you know what the final #'s are, probably another month.

I thought about it, but they just sound so awesome! I think I love them more than I hate them, so they'll stay on for a while longer.

How much do they charge for port work? The tuner said that if I get my intake and TB ported that I can bring it back and they'll dyno and adjust the tune for free.

Sweet! 325 for intake and TB. I'm going to have to give them a call.
