driveability, that's for friggin sure. I had some issues till I got a brake vacuum canister and a speed density tune. As far as the LS6 computer thing...umm....no. Essentially, it's the same as an LS1, just a different program. A good tuner will reflash your computer and tune it to how the engine should be run. I hit 500rwhp and 510 ft lbs running an LS6 with JPR S2 heads, a TR230/224 cam, full bolt on's and 11:5.1 CR. LS6 has better oiling and windage overall, that's about it.

I sacrificed huge dyno numbers for driveability and better "under the curve" motor performance. A car that makes above 350 at the wheels from 5800 to 6800 is not going to be as fast as one that does it from 4000 to 6800. Still I was tempted to slap a monster cam in there just for the hell of it after putting the heads on. Also, the dyno guy told me there was more WHP to be made if I got rid of my heavy ass 18x10.5" Chrome C6's, with 295/35's to boot. Screw that, I like my wheels, plus I need the traction.
Take a look at my dyno numbers, but REALLY take a look at the 1/8th mile performance, after all is said and done, WE DON'T RACE ON THE DYNO. Big numbers don't mean jack if you can't win races.Last edited by Roastem; 10-11-2006 at 08:20 AM.

mine hit 396rwhp with AFR heads, long tubes,ofy, cam and Borla cat back. the guy that tuned it said get rid of those " little injectors" put a throttle body,intake and a little more tuning and easily be over 400. but like everyone has said.... hp= $ .....i figured for at the time then the cost of a divorce wasn't worth getting into the 400 club lol .....but now 3 yrs later.... sliding a few things on top now lol ....SHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
