526 rwhp LS2 vette well ive been talking with somone who says there c6 put down 526 rwhp with a catback, intake, headers, reprogrammer, and a msd ignition. Sounds a bit high to me. What do all of you think?? Is this possible or is he full of it. Oh yeah he said all of this cost him 6000$. Iam calling B.S.

He forgot to add in the 150 shot of nitrous with the list of mods.
Don't call BS though. You'll just end up hurting his feelings. In his world, he's #1. No reason to poop in his Cheerios...

Lg headers no cats $1400
Halltech Stinger CAI $250
Futral Tune $500
Cat back $600
Total $2750 for all that. Now you can get cheaper headers these days and a prgrammer like hypertech. I still find it hard that the engine would have made that much without some serious internal work or stroker.

Point being...$6k doesn't get you as far as most people would think. Its all the small stuff that adds up REAL quick...

I asked him if it was c6 zo6 with the ls7. He said no it was the 400hp ls2. So far he has yet to post up the dyno sheet which he says he has. I think Iam gonna race him and really see what its got.
