Default Hello, First Ls from Michigan

Hello, I jumped ship from the blue oval trading my '06 Mustang GT for an '04 Corvette Z06. I've got a lot to learn about the LS engine after owning a number of Mustangs over the years.

Welcome. I too was a previous "stang" owner and switched to the LS world. There is a ton of info on this great site. You should take the vette to the track if you plan to mod to get a baseline.

Thanks, I'm a road racer rather than a drag racer and get to the road courses around Michigan and Ohio 6 to 12 days a year. I've done the basic engine mods, ARH long tubes, Ron Davis radiator & oil cooler, green filter, catch can and a tune and am running around 390 to the wheels. I'll be looking at doing heads (either new or porting mine), cam & intake in the next couple years once I get some more seat time in the car. I've got some time to learn up on the subject.

It was dynoed at "Jakes Automotive" according to the dyno sheet. It was part of the tuning done by Phil Hofler. I gave the car to Phil and he did his magic.
