I blew my ls1 and I just ordered a ls6.. I know it has more hp than my stock ls1 but is it enough to where I will notice a good amount of power difference or will it be about the same?

shaolink9

i think you will ... i mean unless your ls1 was low milge you were already down power so you would of seen a difference with a stock ls1.

You'll notice a little bit, don't forget they only have like 50more hp at the crank then stock ls1s.

I did have 120k on the ls1 but I doubt it was lacking power I was a 13.3 bone stock just a lid.. I would hope the ls6 would perform like a full bolt on ls1 at least it seems like it could be similar hp wise !

Is 50hp at the crank about what a ls1 gets extra with bolt ons?

I have some basic bolt ons as you seen in my sig. I made 335 RWHP which is I loose 15% through the drive train that means approximately 385.25 at the crank. So ya thats about 50HP with bolt ons

You feel it on the top end better where the engine can breathe with the new intake.

50hp is signifigant. Personally what I would do is pop a cam and springs in it before it goes in the car... Then sell the LS6cam and springs as brand new.... I wouldn't have to think twice about this Even if I had to do the boltons later....

It is too easy not to take advantage of with the motor out of the car IMO.....

How much would something like that cost Sombitch?

i drove an ls6 m6 car, then drove mine. the ls6 car definitely has some good pull up top.
you'll feel it, but it won't be like a massive force pushing you further back in your seat.

X2, go ahead and do a cam swap if its in your plans.

I had a Crate LS6 from GM installed in my car brand spanking new....

let me tell you, you will notice the REAL difference in power at speeds over 100+mph (im not saying you should be driving around going over 100 on the streets BTW)

With just a full exhaust, on a bone stock LS1 factory tune with the LS6, I put down 351rwhp, 355rwtq...

Now I added a MS3 cam and put down 412rwhp...bone stock heads. Car is a freak up top. 4.10's woke it really up tho.

thats what i did, i cammed my Long block LS6 i got from scoggins, put a Fast 92, and sold the LS6 Cam, springs, rods and Intake and got alot of money back
Best thing i could have Ever done after spinning a rod.

I've seen an LS6 vette put down 396 to the wheels with full bolt ons and a tune. If he would have gutted his cats he probably would have had an even 400 at the wheels. Pretty impressive I'd say.

The C5 Z06 is significantly faster than the base C5, usually 12.0-12.2 vs 12.9-13.2 or so. The main differences seem to be less weight (probably less than a 200 lb difference) and the LS6 vs the LS1. I would think that the extra 50 hp is probably the biggest factor.

you will notice 50hp. i could tell a difference with my piddly little 15-20hp from my preditor.

Good info. I'm looking at buying a cam package soon.

dgu1rt

Yeahh guys that cam combo sounds great but i barley have enough to get the motor installed another 1k$ plus would kill me...my stock ls1 did good at the track ran a 13.3 does anyone know or have an idea what a stock or bolt on ls6 would run in a 02 m6 z28?
