Default How will the c6 run with nitrous?

Just wondering what you thought about nitrous in a c6. Like hp boost numbers. I dont know if it is to early to speculate or not but its fun to think about.

Ask the LS6 guys how well their engines are holding up with Nitrous. Same compression ratio.

I currently have a Nitrous Express 150-HP wet kit on my 2001 WS6. I am really impressed with the nitrous oxide system. Before I read the specifications of the C6, I wanted to install a twin turbo system on the C6 that I plan to buy. I would like something different this time, and I have always wanted a turbo system. Since I am keeping my '01 WS6, I do not need a second nitrous car. Then I read that the compression ratio is 10.9:1. I really do not want to change the pistons to lower the compression ratio. I suppose that I will install a nitrous oxide system on the C6, probably a 150-HP wet shot. :auto:

Isn't the LS6 only 10.5:1?

Yes, the LS2 is 10.9:1. It should respond slightly better than the LS6 since it is a larger engine.
