CTSvRolledOUT

Alright this is my baby, and what I'm running... What are some small things I can do to put down some more power??? Help me out with some things that are affordable, I mean Of course buying a twin turbo kit or throwing a supercharger on there would help out but thats a little out of my price range. Help me out here guys!

Thanks!!

nice setup!

There isnt much left besides spray, a s/c or turbo.

But if you realy have a hole burning in your pocket. A fast 102 intake and TB would gain a few but not sure how much, Upgrading to a full 3" B&B catback will free up some HP (~5) , loose cats if you have any.

spray will be fun, u could go bigger cam, but if u wanna stay all motor not really sure my friend, that thing must be wicked fast as it is, u should run that thing at the track.

im going to say the same thing... there is no where else to go except for spary if FI isnt your avenue nor budget. and 443 with mild heads and mildish cam with headers is awesome. im impressed with those numbers. Who did your heads? What specs are stage 2... combustion chamber size? larger valves? ported? are they port matched to the lingenfelter intake?

Your a/fs are all over the place throughout the rpms. Id assume your pushing the stock injectors. Lean....rich....lean....rich........wihout some type of FI your kinda maxed unless you do a FAST 102 and AFRs.

I don't think the inj. being maxed out is causing the a/f fluctuation. My guess is a little time spent on the tune would clean it up and make it smooth, freeing up a few hp here and there.

Are the FAST ports ported or just the inlet?

DoctorNick

Are you running stock cats, catless or high performance cats?
Also, what about running a larger TB?

CTSvRolledOUT

Texas Speed Heads, No Cats, and not sure what exactly is ported on the fast intake.

TB???

DoctorNick

Sorry, throttle body. Are you using the stock 68mm or did you get a LS2 90mm tb?

If it's a 07 ls2, it should have a 90mm on it.

Elec. waterpump will free up some hp.

You could go with ported L92/LS3 heads and a 102mm FAST. You have enough bore for them.

throw a super charger on it

It would be pretty sweet to bump the power up without adding the weight of a power-adder over the front wheels anyway.

what do the electric water pumps run?

JJSimon904

If you dd the car electric water pumps are not ideal for traffc and they only free up a couple hp anyway.

My EW was worth 10 rwhp 6 rwt on my H/C 346. It cooled just fine up until ambient was over 110'.

were do you get your information from?

Electric water pumps are fine for daily drivers. I had one for years on my LT1 and never had a issue.

The last time I went to buy one, the shop and a few friends (that had them and switched back) talked me out of it. I always thought they were a great idea until that point. I had just never bothered to get one. They all said for dd use they just dont flow enough water (although I have never looked up the numbers myself..lol).
