Default LS2 2005 C6 Questions

I was wondering what was the best route to get decent power out of this motor. What kind of combinations and what kind of gains has anyone got.

Halltech cold air intake and LG headers w/3" cats plus a retune can quickly put you up around 400 rear wheel horsepower.
Then a Tick Performance stage one V2 cam change (corresponding valve springs and push rods) w/tune should have you making approximately 440 rw

Then slap a Magnuson on it and pick another 120 hp.

Depends on what your looking for but honestly a centrifugal sc is cost effective and the ecs1500 gives room to grow. I started with that at 600hp and with the same kit I am at 900-950 at the crank.
