Supporting Mods Needed for 500+ WHP
Wondering what supporting mods I'd need for a C6 LS2 A6. Currently installing headers, HB, tsp cam kit with dual springs, new pushrods, and the 228R cam. I know and have already ordered a new torque converter at 3200 stall. What other parts should I be upgrading to keep the motor from self-destruction?

That cam isnt going to get you to 500 RWHP in an automatic unless you're adding a supercharger with it.

You'll be lucky to make 450 wheel on that cam. We ran it on an ls1 with ported 243s and only managed 420 through an auto with a 3800 stall. 500hp out of an ls2 n/a is going to require head work and a more radical cam.

500 rwhp through an A6 requires a really good set of cylinder heads, a really healthy camshaft, and a really good intake manifold. + a pile of money. It's going to drive really shitty on the streets too. 6 or 8psi from a blower setup would get you there and maintain drivability. The blower setup would be cheaper too.

My car is a GS with an E-force, Kooks headers, ZR1 cam running about 7.5 psi and I am at 560 whp.
