Default New LS2 Vette Project

Picked up a new toy about a month ago so here goes.

TFS Cathedral's and a Procharger coming soon.

Car is an A6, was slightly modified prior to purchase which included.

Fast 102
223/231 Camshaft
LG 1 3/4 headers and catted h pipe going to Corsa Sport's
Yank 3600 ss converter

Car made 427whp and 425wtq on Vengeance" dyno about six months ago.

Two new sets of wheel have been order to make my final decision. The car goes to PCMofNC end of May for tuning.

I would look into come 1-7/8" or 2" with a centri blower in the works. Other than that, it looks like a nice strong starting point to a very fun car. I bet some TFS220 fast-as-cast heads would really wake it up.

Sounds like a real fun combo! I would also look
At the new MMS 223 Sportsman Heads, they would go
real well with your existing cam, and like previously
Mentioned while not necessary the 1 7/8" would make
A nice difference especially over 8 lbs of boost.
How much boost do you plan on by the way?

It's going to be fun and has been so far.

I've contemplated calling Tony about those heads. The TFS 220's were purchased about 6 months ago for another project that went TFS 205's.

Not opposed to buying another set if I could be convinced of advantages over the TFS.

Boost will be around 10-12 max. While the D1 is capable of more, for a street car it's not needed IMHO.
