man we didn't expect these numbers out of this thing,but were happily surprised.this thing is about as budget as you can get.

99 Camaro
Va Speed 408-Eagle crank and rods,Diamond pistons.
ported 5.3 heads
custom Va Speed cam
stock rockers
LS6 intake
Stock ported tb
Pacesetter headers and y pipe
Borla catback
6 speed
12 bolt rear with 4.10 gears

Ed said the map was reading 97kpa-it really wants a good intake and tb

WOW Almost 400rwtq at 3000rpm with LS6 Intake, 12bolt and 1.3/4 headers

Great work.

Great results for the mods!!! Plenty of room to grow with that set up.

Nice results, who ported the 5.3 heads and what size valves do they have? Thanks

Whats the cam specs, that has ALOT to do with it...

Awesome results! I would have guessed 30rwhp less. Now there will be a few budget 500rwhp F-bods, good to know.

We take wagers before we run em all. Shawn took 475. I took 480. It made 481 on the very first pull. We both were pretty shocked! It worked it's way right up to the high 490s. I let it sit for 20 minutes, and came back and she did the 502 pull.

Temp on the dyno was about 92 degrees. She was a bit heat soaked from hot lappin.

While the internet will have you believe you can't make good power w/ an LS6 intake anymore, that's obviously not the case.

Nice work gentlemen.

Without all the details, partiularly cam and head info, it makes it difficult to give an opinion. Anyone can build a max output engine with all the goodies and make big RWHP. Point is do it without a max effort that you can drive on the street!!!

I know you guys dont give cam specs, but curious who did the 5.3 heads?

Shawn @ VA Speed

i think the tq curve speaks for itself-this was anything but max effort.

i have no info on the heads-they were on the customers old 383 and we just did a good valve job and new springs-the thing you need to look at is the combo,none of these parts by themselves is great,but when you put them together they work great

I don't think a "max output engine" includes a 78mm throttle body, LS6 intake, and ported 5.3 heads. That's pretty much all you need to know. The cam selection isn't too big to kill the bottom end. We had no intention of this being a max effort build. Hell, if we wanted to make some power, we would have at least put a FAST 90 on it. This is a perfect example of the sum being greater than the parts.

What's ironic is the driveability is incredible for what it is.

BTW, with the 4.11 gears, this thing is a beast!!

You saw the movie TAKEN ?

Good luck.....

I'm guessing the cam is bigger than what they want us to beleive.

People that don't post up the full specs of a build are hiding something somewhere. It's almost pointless to even make a post about it.

Last time I checked, the cam is the heart of the engine. It could have a TR 224 or a T-REX, at least we could see what that combo did instead of trying to guess what the main component specs are.

I don't get it.

I saw the movie though. I enjoyed it.

I can see wanting to hide the cam specs on a super optimized setup that puts down some kind of magical number but as the OP stated, this is just a budget build and he doesn't even have the flow numbers on the heads to say that they applied some sort of special knowledge to the cam selection. Without a rough idea of the cam that is in this car, we cant even envision what this combo sounds or drives like. Basically making this thread as worthless as **** on a bull.
