Default LS2 manual vararam and headers dyno

2006 m6, vararam, hinson lth (coated and wrapped), catless, 3” xpipe back to loudmouth2 (2.5” axle back), and 160 t-stat.

Need to start saving for cam or sc...got plenty of time to figure it out cause I’m just a poor boy, nobody loves me, he’s just a poor boy from a poor family...

Preemptive strike: yes, that appears to be higher than average with these mods. No, I do not have drag slips to back it up. I do however have a track close by, just need to get a helmet first (13.99 or quicker requires a helmet at San Antonio Raceway). 93 Octane

Get them to send you SAE numbers instead of STD.....

Your next mod on an LS2 should be a Fast Intake manifold, you will pick up another 25 rwhp/tq

I will see about getting SAE numbers, thought there might be a way to convert based off STD, but I will ask.

My tuner recommended I skip the Fast and save for a cam. Another person I trust said more the like 15hp out of a Fast...

Will probably still get one eventually, but gonna be awhile... $$$

Tuner said his dyno reads 2% lower than it should and dif between std and sae is 4% so that puts me at 390. Which is backed up by a dyno calclator I found

my LS2 with a ported Fast 102 and OBX catted headers picked up 65rwhp with no additional tunning

Solid result! Congrats.

PM me when you head to that track as I'd like to give it a whirl sometime.

I recommend that you remove the exhaust wrap from the headers because Hinson states, on their installation sheet, that you not wrap them because the coating may be harmed. I have a buddy that wrapped his Hinson's and within a year the coating started falling off. I've had my Hinson's on for over a year now, without being wrapped, and they look brand new.
