It would sound loud enough whereas you would not hear the siren of the police car behind you trying to get you to pull over!

Dynoing autos always confuse me cause which one do u go by the locked or unlocked? And if u were a m6 I'd say around 380 with stock heads. And ls6 intake.

Through an Auto w/ those Macs I think its a bit optimistic to shoot for 400rwhp stock heads with the G5. I'd say 380-385 rwhp.

I assume that you're talking about the G5X2?? Or the older G5??

In any event, I was up at LGM today and saw an automatic car w/ a stock converter (as far as I could tell; it deffinitely wasn't a big 'un), lid, Grotts w/ cats (and the $h!++y Y-pipe that the Grotts come with), and a factory cat-back (open cutout right before the muffler) with the G5X2 that put down a shade over 400 RWHP.

No ported TB, factory pulley, no LS6 intake, stock LS1 MAF, factory LS1 heads, blah, blah, blah...

What is going to make your goal somewhat difficult to achieve is that converter. However, I would think that if the car I just mentioned (being as stock as it is) can put down a little over 400, a car with a few more bolt-ons and open headers ought to be able to come damn close to that, even through a loose converter.

Sounds like the car I was talking about. I finished up the cold/warm starting and idle today, hope you enjoy.

Court- You bet its done! Awaiting some final touch ups, a good nut and bolt ( Race car term for combing the car with every wrench and making sure everything is tight <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> ) and a clean job. Its one of the best so far! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> You need a pully and a ported TB.


Kyle,

I would say 360 unlocked, and ~ 380 locked +/- 5. You would gain a lot with the ls6, and IMO, its a must. Call me or shoot me an email @ Lgigliot@purdue.edu and we can talk <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

We tuned a G5X-2 heads/cam (LS1) car yesterday with a y-pipe and cats that did 415/385 RWHP with the converter locked.
