Default Great Results from LS6 Intake on H/C car

Just added the SLP LS6 intake to my car. See mods in sig.

Before: 379.6 rwhp 379.5 rwtq
After: 399.0 rwhp 395.9 rwtq

Thats gain of 19.4rwhp 16.4rwtq at peak

Torque jumped on a average of 15rwtq from 3500rpms - 5000rpms

Horsepower was up around 15rwhp from 5000-6000rpms

Nice gains, but any idea on why your HC combo isn't putting out much power?

399 seems pretty decent to me <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Those seem like fine numbers to me. Its only a 222, .550 lift cam, not a big Thunder cam.

So there not the latest design and the cam isn't as big as most people are running now. I'm sure with a little bit better exausht setup and some dyno tunning with ls1 edit, it would put out some good numbers...

Those are great numbers, especially torque

What HP does it add on stock internals?

That total gain under the curve should be worth plenty SOTP and Track times! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Very nice gains! A little tuning and you'll be in the 400/400 club <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I think I could of made if I was a dyno ****, with the basicly stock tuning each run it keep making more power. I hit these numbers on my 4th pull, these were SAE by the way. I didn't really want to abuse the car and stock clutch to hit that 400rwhp.
The stock short block has 65k on it and going strong thou!!! Soon as I can save up the money for ls1 edit and better exausht setup I will hit the dyno again, luckly my dad shops has a dynojet but no A/F meter <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> Any way I'm happy with the #'s for a small cam <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> And no real performance tune. We should get some type of F-body dyno day going down here in Oregon, I can hook us up <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
