The hell with four doors. With those numbers I'll climb in thru the window.

Nice numbers, but very hard to keep it on the ground. Very tail happy.

But if you do the math, and factor in 15% M6 drivetrain loss, the headers/tune setup is making 498HP at the crank... close to LS7 C6 ZO6. Jesus. |

Cheers P.S. Damn. GM keeps doing making the Corvette better and better. I find myself caring less and less about the "gold chain" stigma and instead dreaming about how I could possibly upgrade to one. |
This is awesome. I won't be owning an LS3, but I will be upgrading to an LS1 soon. Can't wait to get my C5 vette around 500whp. :D
|
wow... 50 hp/torque from a tune and headers... However jealous I am of big engines, it's impressive too see the gains they get from small mod's...
|
Totally jealous. We can not get Mazda to give us even 50HP extra after 4 years (actually, we have been losing HP, on paper though).

this means second hand ls7's will be getting cheaper as well, ls1's can already be had for nothing. If my replacement renesis takes another dump....hmmm..... :evil_laug

Attached is an old dyno of mine from a healthy heads/cam, full bolt-on LS1 setup I used to run in my daily driven, built drivetrain 6sp Fbod a couple years ago. As you can see, the extra cubes, increased development of the factory heads, factory valvetrain, and factory intake manifold have gone a long way for the LS3. Nice numbers for the LS3!

what the heck is the MPG on this thing, it has to be dumping a ton of fuel.
