What do you think the G5X2 will do in my LS6 ? Its in a 2001 Camaro M6, car dynod 390.1 rwhp with SLP LTs, LS6 crate engine, lid and cutout... since then I have added true duals... and going in this week is a G5X2, 85mm MAF, ported TB and custom tuning from LG. Im going to use the stock LS6 heads and valves but switch to Rev double springs, hardened rods, tit. retainers etc... Any ideas what I will see with this setup in AZ with 91 octane? I would like to see a solid 440 rwhp but since no one has done this cam yet in a LS6 to my knowledge I have no idea what to expect!
Also... can anyone else recommend any other mods to do to get a lil more power out without going internal? I dont want to do pullies because I run a big stereo and need every amp the alternator can crank out... and I want to keep my SLP 3 inch cats because I like the quieter sound, its going through a X-pipe then through Borla XS 2.5 inch in/out mufflers. Whats left to mod to creep some power out ?? are there better mufflers to get without going to bullet style? Thanks!

Re: What do you think the G5X2 will do in my LS6 ? Its getting a 150 shot wet or a 200 DP in addition, depends on the funds left over after the swap... whichever I can afford is gonna go on it! I just wanted an estimated rwhp N/A though

Re: What do you think the G5X2 will do in my LS6 ? I guess it all depends on what louie can do with his tuning... getting it done in texas but car is in AZ, so kinda waiting to find out how the tuning will work out here with only 91 octane! I think im gonna dial it in with a MAFT after I get it just incase it knocks a bit

Re: What do you think the G5X2 will do in my LS6 ? You don't want to put me #1 cause you don't want to be shut down on your first attempt. Don't you think you want to get some enjoyment out of that huge cam. :p

Re: What do you think the G5X2 will do in my LS6 ? my dyno was low for my mods, most LS6 guys are doing 400+... all I had done at the time of dyno was a LS6 crate, SLP LTs, lid and cutout. Engine had about 600 miles on it at the time.

Re: What do you think the G5X2 will do in my LS6 ? Hey Bud, did your mail order tune yesterday, it should go out Monday. Do you have anywhere local you can dial in the tuning? Mail order tuning can be tough without seeing the car or hooking any diagnostic tools to it.
