Default Uhh...what now?

I had the G5 cam, PCM tune and 2800 stall put in last week, however due to an exhaust leak from hell, I've got bad knock retard which caused me to have a nasty, nasty dyno (322hp 340tq, before was 306hp and 330tq)Im taking it back to LG sometime next week to fix the leak (and hopefully get some more power. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> ) But my question is, what should come next until i get the $ for heads. I was thinking about a true dual setup? ls6 intake? pullys? all? lol.

Thanks,
Ryan

Btw, just wanted to say thanks to rick and the guys at LG, although I've got a minor problem to fix, I've never dealt with better people!

What other mods have you done to the car or is it just these three things?

I'd say get some LT headers,ET streets and underdrive pulley. Good luck.

BTW- Those dyno numbers don't mean all that much. Put that car on the track and you'll be pleased. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Sorry, guess it would have been wise to post my current mods. So far my car has MAC headers w/ cats, borla, air lid, G5 cam and stall. Thats why i was kinda disappointed with the numbers cause I've already got headers. but hopefully I can bump those up a bit by getting rid of that knock retard.

I'd say work on getting this knock retard figured out before you do anything else if its a lot its got to be killing you. Get it dynoed again afterwards you should be happeir with your results. LS6 intake is only about 5HP. I just went ahead and did it when I got my cam installed don't know if it was worth the $450 though. Pully would be good. Maybe have LG talk you into doing some suspension stuff they've got the best parts in my opinion. Do the free ram air mod if you haven't already its free. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Or save a bunch of money because once you do the heads a 12 bolt will probably not be too far after that. I'm still praying mine holds together. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
