Charlie,

Thanks for talking today. That's most convincing data. So, my head project is on the list for you. I guess intake too, but exhaust ports need to compliment the LGs 1 7/8 so it's a match. And that's a mild cam. Hmmmm. Bigger cam. Yeah. I'll send you data after VIR, but have to wait until the races lapse before diving into the head work.

Don't forget to reference that great graph you got about flow studies and the CNC porting on the exhaust. Piece of work there. Great job. Thanks for the post.

Nice work Charlie! You're definitely kicking out more power than we are. We may be heading for a cam swap soon Who ported the intake and TB?

Don't mean to hijack your thread, here's what we put down this past Sat on one of our project cars:



We still have to do some tuning. The cam is pretty small for an LS7. It's got some nice torque though and drives like stock. This is in a C5 running off an LS1 PCM.

Sounds about spot on from what I've seen out of other C6Z H/C packages. Nice numbers!

Default Factory Muffler and Air Intake?

Maybe a few more HP if these were done?

Charlie-

I hear Bobby was very happy, Nick says the car made him sick!!!


Congrats!

Pio

BTW- Can you overlay the previous dyno run to see how much more power he got under the curve?
