Default ls1 swapped S2000 first dyno

I mostly lurk, but figured I would share this since I'm looking for suggestions

I've swapped an LS1 from an F-body into my s2000 with following mods.
Torquer V2 cam
243 heads
Jenvey ITB kit
10% ATI UD pulley


Exhaust is 1 5/8" block huggers from hooker into 3 inch piping that with a 3.5 y pipe at the rear axle with a 4in muffler.





Dyno pull video and dyno sheet:







Now here is the question:

How am I going to get another 60hp out of this motor? The goal from the start was 450whp. Obviously long tubes would help get a chunk of that, but I think I need some different heads.

243's are pretty good heads even in stock form. I would send them to one of the sponsors here and have them ported, as well as swapping to a 1 7/8in LT if you have the space. That should put you where you want to be

+1 on the 1-7/8" long tubes and porting the heads, that will gain huge...also if your 3" exhaust necks down to a single 3" y-pipe outlet, that will hurt you... I would upsize that outlet to 3.5" or 4", or go dual 3" all the way back..
Underdrive pulley will help some as well


Sweet build!

Wow that intake looks incredible!
It deserves MMS 220 or at least 223 Sportsmen Heads and a Cam Motion
LLSR, 1 7/8" LTs, 7500 RPM & 500 RWHP!

LOL obviously not with that intake! They certainly look badass but I would wager he would pick up across the board going to a Fast 92/92 combo with a plate kit for good measure!
