Planning a trip to Texas in the near future for a few upgrades...

[6 Shooter]

After much conversation with Anthony @ LGM the following items are to be installed and the LS6 will be dyno-tuned to finally obtain it's optimum performance...​

LG Motorsport C5 Street Series Long Tube Headers​

CORSA Xtreme Exhaust System with Pro Tips​

K&N's Generation II FIPK®​

3 to 5 wire MAF sensor​

​

C5 Ultra Deep Dish Rims or C5 ZO6 Chrome Wheels​

"D" are those long tubes Jet Hot coated or anything?

 

[6 Shooter]

Bud - I make money the old time way, working, Tax Refunds are saved for retirement...

JR - From my understanding they are not, but I'll have a lifetime warranty on them and the CORSA Xtreme exhaust system. ​

If Shooter spends a couple of days in Texas.....THEY will know why he lives in MO and escort him back!

A Very Nice Selection

Dwayne,
The mods should get you around thirty additional horse power. Much of the gain will come from the dyno tuning which is the only way you can maximize the value of these mods. It looked like the new header set up will not have high flow cats. That being said, the tuners will have to make appropriate electronic work arounds to satisfy GM's post cat 02 sensor parameters.

In addition you should expect to get some serious increase in exhaust noise regardless of which exhaust system you use out back. Just keep in mind that you will be flowing much more air (more volume = more sound).
Remo:cool

Remo - It'll be much more that 30 HP gain, I currently have an LS1 tune in my LS6 with LS1 low flow cats.

Anthony said their dyno-tune should give me right at 400 RWHP when all is said and done!

L8TR - D

Apparently my remote viewing skills are beginning to slip. I was unable to sense the LS1 tune. The 30 HP remark was centered on just the LT's and Corsa exhaust. 400 RWHP will be a smok'in hot ride.
Remo:cool

 

[6 Shooter]

Remo - No problem, when you get to be your and Bud's age things have been slipping for years.

I think the boys in Texas will be glad to see Kerri & I. Plans are to hook-up with Cee/68Roadster Monday morning, hang out for awhile at LG's then head over and talk with Carr at Carr's Corvettes and Customs. :cool

L8TR - D

 

[Edmond]

The LG longtubes will definitely increase the noise level. :L

They were a bear to get in, I did all the work myself. I just can't see paying someone else to do it for me.

I put down 366 to the rear wheels.

 

[jrose7004]

I think that'll you'll be happier with them longer if you have them coated first!

 

[geekinavette]

They're stainless...don't really need coating?

 

[Edmond]

They're stainless...don't really need coating?

That's what I was told, that if they're stainless, they'll be fine.

One thing though that after I run the AC and shut the car off, the water will drip onto the headers and make a cool hissing sound.

 

[geekinavette]

Cold water and hot stainless steel...good recipe for cracking! I would probably try to avoid that.

 

[jrose7004]

All I can tell you is that my cousin got his coated and his look much better than ones I've see that aren't. I'm talking about discoloration and such.

Looking forward to the visit.....

I can see it now.....Rangers chasing D up I-35 as he looks to find out what 400hp at the rear does on the speedo......film at 11

Knowing Dwayne like I do, there is a lot of truth in that statement. I'm not really sure how many states he has received a ticket in, but I can tell you its more than one.

 

[jrose7004]

I've heard that ole "D" has a charge account in Oklahoma that he pays monthly for the tickets here!otfl
