i had my 2002 Z06 tuned at MTI houston after they installed the following bolt on's and cam

232/234 .595/.598 112 cam
Kooks Long tubes and catted X-pipe
Bassani Catback
Underdrive pulley
Blackwing intake

the car drives just like stock and made this power in 96 degree weather. i was very impressed for a cam only car

417.7rwhp and 395.2rwtq, i wonder if i will see any more power when the motor breaks in?

I thought these cars were 405 horse stock ?? Or am I mixing up bhp and rwhp ..

XS HP

Rated at 405 bhp. They typically dyno 345-360rwhp stock.

i dont like that torque curve at all.

Whats so bad about it?? It falls off a little early though, so if you are complaining about that I agree.

SVTlightning87

whats wrong with the torque curve? is it the dip in it or how it goes down at 5k rpm?

solutions?

I see why your torque falls off a little early, you have stock ls6 heads. Better flowing heads and you will make even more torque and hold on longer. A ported 90 mm Fast would help a lot also.

I don't really see any reason to complain about your CAM only results. That guy is crazy I think. I am sure you are feeling the difference with that new cam. Have fun.

SVTlightning87

the difference is night and day, and i agree i would defently benifet from heads but since my budget didnt allow i just went with a cam

as far as heads go im going to do it right the first time and step up to a AFR 205's and a Fast 90/90 when i get a extra 3500ish laying around

I was reading a post by Tony Mamo about some chamber mods he can do to help get more out of the 205's. It might be worth it to talk to him about it if you are going to order the afr 205's down the road. I love my AFR 205's but would have liked a little more air flow then they allow. I don't need the 225's or TFS 215's but a little tweaking on the the afr 205's would have been perfect. PM Tony and I am sure he can fill you in on the chamber mods he was talking about.

not flaming or anything, but I put a '02 ls6 in my bolt-on SS camaro and it made 407,405 ,403 on 3 different dynos. I would think a cam would make more than a 10-15 hp difference. I have thought of changing the cam in my car and want something streetable as it is a dd. But it not worth it if that is al i'll get.

oh yea, 350rwtq from 3500 to 6250 is horrible..

SVTlightning87

i didnt put this cam in the car to create huge peak numbers, i did it to have over 350rwtq at only 3500 rpm's and keep in mind this was on a 0 mile fresh rebuilt that picked up over 5rwhp just from the few dyno pulls breaking in

I had the same cam in my TA with the stock ls1 intake, and the stock 98 heads, and made 375/364 in 70 degree air. Over a period of time, the car felt better and better with some miles on the new cam. I think you will like it a lot over time, but definitely more mods will be fun. I never got to heads, just a ls6 intake. Good numbers!

Yes I would be totally pissed too...LOL

Good cam only numbers, and they are right a few more bolt-ons and you are looking at 20-60+rwhp depending on the what you get...I figure AFR 205s would be quite a bit and then some more with the FAST.

Good luck, enjoy the new power.

That can't be a stock LS6 engine to get those RWHP #s. LS6 is 405 at the crank and 350s max at the wheels stock...or you got a ringer.

If you want to see what a set of afr 205's milled to 59 cc will do for ya, check out my graph. Its in the dyno section. May have to do a search. Anyways with the heads, ported 90 fast, asp ud pully, and Meziere ewp and Louis' new cam (not available to public yet) I made 360 rwtq at 2800 rpms and peak torque was 445 at the wheels.

So I am going say that afr heads alone will 50 rwhp and 40 rwtq. You have a good cam choice. Its been proven time and time again that bigger isn't always better. You have power under the curve and thats what everyone should be after. Have fun with the car and please let me know if you decide to put some heads on that thing. 215cc Trick Flows would be a good option as well.

Completly stock crate engine with bolt-on's, it has exceeded my expectations to say the least.
