bought my childhood dream car several months back. did not plan to mod it at all…. well first month i had i ended up throwing some go fast parts on her.
build so far: car has 75k miles now
SLP CAI
long tubes
catless X
full corsa extreme cat back
MGW Short Throw
Brake upgrade
z51 sways
stock power
368 hp
368 tq
after few mods and tune:
398 hp
401 tq
i feel like i may end up going broke just from modding rather than the car cost itself.
Lol... I feel ya. I already have an LSA blower on the bench for future install after I get finished with the other repairs/mods I need/want to do. In fact, I’m just working up the courage to chop away part of the cowling so the supercharger fits. 😉
Long story short...... yes, it will end up costing you a lot. I was all about staying as stock as possible.......until i got the bug
I started with CAI & corsa sport axle back..... then added headers and X pipe.....then a diablosport trinity tuner with email tune from Diablou..... with that, i thought I was good!.... did 1/4 mi. in 12.8 ....... seemed slow compared to everyone else LOL (my friends were driving Hellcats, and supercharged challengers, gto's, ctsv, vipers, turbo'd ricers , etc...) so ended up installing an A&A supercharger kit, and guages. then I couldn't keep traction.... so had to get Drag radials.
Have also added some cosmetic things like aftermarket fuel rails, valve covers, LED side markers, oracle halo tail lights, Z06 style wheels, custom leather seat covers, etc.
Not to mention stereo system:
double din kenwood
(3) amps
(2) 10" subs
(4) 6.5"
(2) 1.5" tweets
(2) 3.5" coaxial
(2) 8"
Front & rear cameras
because at 6500rpm he is making more power than 5000rpm (best case 3-4 rpm drop for mn6). You want your power curves to match at your shifts.
The Z51 gear set drops to 4500, which is down over 40hp compared to 6500.
I don't think this is a Z51 optioned car as he only stated that he has Z51 sways! That being said it should still fall back to 4500rpm after the shift, & I agree bumping the shift to 6700 would net a better ET
That’s a lot of power from just headers. 368 whp on stock LS2 is pretty much unheard of.
Really? what are the typical numbers for the stock ls2? mine is an m6 if that makes a difference. was on a hot 100 degree day. tuner did say it put out more than he expected. does this mean its been babied previously or ran hard or what? he also said stock it was running a tad bit leaner than he liked.

how long have you had the aa kit installed? what else have you needed to replace with the extra power?
