This car is not fully tuned. Plus he has new pistons and rings that are not and the engine is still a little tight. good eye though, We were just tired and decided to finish the tune after he got some miles on it.

Fenris,
The dip is due to incomplete tuning. The day Glen picked up the car, he wanted to let it break in for a few hundred miles before we spent too much time on it. We will have more to do with the tuning when he breaks it in.
I suspect that we will see around 460+/- with the low end torque much better. The difference that we have seen between LS1 and LS6 heads has been in the mid range power band.
Glen's car has not even come close to it's potential due to a abnormal exhaust and muffler hp loss plus a header with a 2.5" dump that is also restrictive.
Thanks
Lou Gigliotti

Ok, reading all these G5X posts gives me wood. <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> I've got to know..how much is the cam package? I might be an idiot, but I didn't see it listed on the website.

open headers - BUT - w/ the FLP 2 1/2" offroad pipes attached to keep air off the O2's. not a true open header set-up if you ask me.

30th TA 0219,
It is not you, the package is not up on the web site yet. the package including Double springs, titanium retainers, and pushrods is $899.
We have them in stock, give me a call at 1-877-LGMotor to place an order.
thanks
