Dyno Tune. Want To know if there is prolly anything better or these are good enough parts that will get me to over 400rwhp without heads

samb0ness

i got over 400rwhp in my '01 ss with lid, exhaust, and 230/232 comp cam...so with that list of stuff, i'm sure you should bust through the 400 mark

I would take out the MSD blaster coils, and try to find the 6.0 truck coils, been proven and you can probably find them cheaper, and its just a personal thing but i wouldnt go with chrome headers..i would try stainless, but good combo so far

I hated my bumpstop riding Eibachs on my old LT1 car. They sucked so bad I bought a set of stockers and put back on...IMO literallly almost anything else is better and I have ridden/driven several brands....

X2 on the MSD coils

Big TB's like that won't gain you anythig unless you are BIG cubes and can be a PIA to tune.... same with that MAF..... both overkill......

i agree with these guys. if need be OP call ron at vengeance and talk to him about the intake and tb more in depth

vetteboy99

Ok, So what kind of intake manifold, tb, and MAF should I get. LS6 Intake, ported TB, and What kinda MAF Sounds better?

Leave the stock MAF on there and don't mess with it.

vetteboy99

I guess I will be doing that

orangeapeel

iTrader: (18)

Well, really if you wanted to you could pick up a stock Z06 MAF or the Delphi one. They are 85mm. But I would definitely not port/polish/de-screen it.

vetteboy99

Yea I was just about to ask If i should get a z06 one

Ron @ Vengeance should be able to set you up with a max effort ported 102 FAST and matching TB. I believe that was what he was refering to with the call Vengeance portion.

vetteboy99

i pm'd him. What about the other mods?

vetteboy99

And change the cam to a torquer v3

With those parts listed, you're going to spend a whole bunch of money to get less than stellar results. Lemme break it down for you..

-You do not want to put 4:56 gears in a 10 bolt. You'll shatter them the first time the tires stick. Do not go any higher than a 4:10.
-Ram clutches are decent. Not a bad choice there.
-Unless you can shift lightening fast, do not run a Fidanza flywheel. They're too light and lose a lot of momentum during shifts. I've seen this flywheel slow down a LOT of cars. Lighter does not always mean better. Get a billet steel.
-Why the Koni's? Put a set of Bilstein revalved HD shocks on there with some Eibach springs. It'll handle nearly the exact same, for 1/4 the cost.
-For $100 more, you can get a much better header selection from Pacesetter, opposed to the BBK's. The BBK's are ok, but they have garbage ball flanges and a 2.5 Ypipe.
-MSD coils are junk and a waste of money. I've seen several of them fail. Stock GM coils are good to very high HP levels. Another waste of money.
-MSD wires are junk. Run a GM LS2 wire. Better than MSD, half the cost.
-A fast 102mm is an overkill for a cam only car. Cam only LS1's only need a 90mm at best, for cost effective gains.
-The 232/234 cam is not a very good grind. Never seen one make power that was impressive. Drop down into the 228/232 or 230/232 range on a 112-113+4. You'll get better results and more TQ.
-Comp 918 springs work just fine with an XE-R lobe if set up properly. No need to buy a heavy spring that's going to cost you power unless you're running .600-.620 lift with a square lobe.


In closing, stop reading the parts catalogs and making your decisions off of vendors claims. Do some research. You can achieve your goals for a lot less money. I do it every day.

vetteboy99

Thanks Man, I posted this then Started doin alot of research. And I changed my WHOLE mod list and you just made me change it a little more. Lol. But I have also been lookin for ls6 shortblocks to incase I find one cheap.

vetteboy99

and for 1200 I can get a forged 408 Pistons and crank kit. Is it a good Deal?

you can't buy them brand new. gm only sells the longblock for a 04 ZO6. you can buy them used but if your like me you wont do that lol i'm just goin to buy a LS6 longblock then sell the brand new heads and cam to make some money back, plus i have some damn good heads and a cam anyway lol
yes and no. lean more towards the no part cause unless your an engine builder your still goin to have to buy a block and have it machined etc etc etc so your better off goin through a good place to get a engine already built. and yeah talk with ron at vengeance, give him a call if pm doesn't get answered. personally i'd suggest a ported 102 with a 92tb, i'm no genius but even i know you wont need a 102 tb
