Default 2002 camaro with ls6 cam and slipping verter

Here is my dyno graphs. The best it did was 341hp and 304tq on a mustang dyno. Tunetime performance in toms river NJ did the tune.
My mods are. ls6 cam,ls6 intake,slp udp,slp lid/k&N,flowmaster exhaust and a 3200 stall fuddel converter that was slipping hence why the tq is low. I know it need long tubes. I plan on amr 1 7/8 long tubes and a new verter soon.
Anyone have a comparable mustang dyno to my mods?






The bottom graph was my best but as you can see it has a voltage prob in the middle of the graph.

is that the flowmaster catback? if so it could also be holding you back a bit ive seen people gain anywhere from 15 to 18 ftlbs of tq from a cutout

your number's look good for having a blowmaster and on a stang dyno.
I have a list of LS6 cam only cars with stock exhaust manifolds making 352-360's

Im really considering the LS6 cam for my car.

Yea The car has no cats and had a slp loudmouth on it. I could not stand it. So I installed the flowmaster cat back to quiet it down. I am going to buy a vigilate converter and see if that makes a difference. I have ported 243 heads, 228-232 cam and a strange 12 bolt to install. Then I will start saving up for a forged bottom end.

The SLP LM sounds really good with CATS...w/o cats I agree it doesnt sound good and is way too loud.

Yea. I will get some Amarican racing headers and a catted ypipe with a cut out after I get a verter.

Thumbs up

Good numbers. Is that on stock exhaust manifolds? Years ago I ran a similar setup (Yank 3200, bolt ons, etc) but with MAC headers and made almost exactly those numbers (more tq) so I think yours still has more in it. As always the key when using the LS6 cam is you need to shift at least at 6600 rpms to really maximize the gains. Notice how the curve lays nearly flat from peak to 6500 rpms. The hp difference between stock and the LS6 is amazing at that rpm.

BTW - Give Chris at Circe D a call if you're looking for a new converter. They make a great converter (tell him what your goals are) and offer exceptional customer service as well.

your bottom end will be just fine depending on your miles or how much you spray it.

just look at what a full bolton z06 makes and that should give you an idea what that guy is making, but subtract 10 horsepower or so because of the ls1 intake.

Id bet he is right around 380 if i was guessing.

Yes stock manny's and yea i saw that the cam was peaking out at 6400 and flat lining untill 6500 when it started falling. I was shocked on how high you can rev this little cam.
