Any 2002+ LS6, or LS1 modded to LS6, with Dynatech LT headers and dyno sheets? Title says it. I'm researching some mods and sure would like to see the effect the Dynatechs have on the, basically stock, 2002-2004, Z06 LS6 engine, or an LS1 with LS6 heads and cam, etc. Modded engine results welcomed also. I'd really appreciate any information anyone can provide. I've tried several forums for dyno sheets with no success. Thanks for any help you can give me...I'd really appreciate it!

If you bought a vette, you might as well pay the 'vette tax and get a set of LGM headers. They put down the best numbers for 'vettes. Otherwise, look @ Kooks or QTP. I wouldn't waste my time with lower quality headers on a nice car like that.

I'm thinking about +20 hp/trq after a dyno tune, but I could be low.

So headers are good for a nice 20-25 rwhp IMO on an LS6. I can get you the graph of my dyno run of you would like.

I have plans for mods over the next two years that include porting and polishing the heads, a TSP 233/239 or magic stick, underdrive pulleys, possibly a forged stroker kit to 383 or more, and I have been reseaching everything I can about a procharger (7psi to 15 psi) on top of this.
My eventual goal is to hit somewhere between 500 and 600 rearwheel hp and as much tq and hopefully keep it drivable on a daily or regular basis. The only thing I don't want to do at this point is NO2 and I can see that changing down the road....
The cam goes in this spring sometime and the Strange 12 with 4:10's goes in this summer.
Let me know how yours pans out and share the numbers with me.
