that sounds like a good plan my base 3lt came with npp either way headers should give it some roar and nice hp gain paired with a tune

[QUOTE=Chief Barger;1599159129]What about specs for the LS2?[/QUOTE
Ive seen about 350 rwhp give or take a few, I'm hoping for about 390 with my vararam, ported stock intake, Z06 manifold, H pipe necked down to 2.5" over axle, 160 t-stat, Ls7 spark plugs, and smoothed/ slightly radious TB.

How are you going to make a Z06 (LS7) intake manifold fit on your LS2 heads? ... (or are you talking about LS7 exhaust manifolds?)

BTW ... a bone stock LS3 / A6 only makes about 370 RWHP ... A stock LS3 / M6 makes about 380 RWHP

BTW ... there will be no HP gain by using LS7 spark plugs or a 160 degree t-stat

Z06 exhaust manifolds, I ported the stock intake. Correct plugs and t-stats don't actually make HP

For what it's worth.......be careful how loud you make your exhaust. I have run several autocross events last summer and those locations had "noise monitors" set up and any car that exceeded the specified number were asked to stop running. Too many complaints from neighbors has caused several autocross locations to mandate quieter exhaust systems. Just my .02 worth................
