2008 C6 LG Headers & K&N Intake (NEW)

I guess it was bad gas after all. 441 rwhp/ 429 rwtq on a mustang dyno. It was tuned with LS1 Edit at 27 degrees. 28 degrees showed 445 rwhp, but he's keeping it safe. I guess. The car has 1200 miles on the clock.

I didn't get to take it for a ride, but he says its night and day difference.

Looks like the discounted prices of the '07 C6s in stock need to go deeper.

The LS3 is a bad *** setup. The heads are the thing that makes all the difference. LT, CAI, and tune can get 60 to 70 rwhp easy. That puts it in the range of a 2007 ZO6 at a fraction of the cost.....

Very believable with a good tune. The LS3 seems to be neutered from the factory. Guys have got 410rwhp out of intake and tune, so 30 more from LG long-tubes is not a big stretch.

I don't have a video of the final pull, but this video was right before with 28 degrees of timing. The final run was backed down to 27 degrees.

For the non-believers, ENJOY !!!

Great power !!! Glad to see it was just some bad gas. To the person that said these cars are nutless from the factory, you are correct. Once they are tuned correctly and LG's pro longtubes are added with a good CAI you will be amazed. Just take another look at Dennis' dads car. On a mustang dyno no less !!
