Default Lets build my LS7 engine, NA. 650hp+

Hey guys,

I have a 2006 Z06 Corvette and I am thinking about ordering LG motorsports long tube headers plus some rear axle mufflers from borla or corsa. Now I want to mod my heads and camshafts and pistons. What I am looking for is around 650hp+ all motor on pump gas. What can I do? Help me out with some links to things I can get and lets build this. Thanks.

So are you shooting for 550RWHP?

No atleast 650whp because lrg long tube headers have added 40hp plus on a stock engine.

Go back and talk to Loui at LG. He can may can get you there. Just to let you know if you do get there you will experience a major loss of driveability, unless you boost it.

Well not the whole story. the LS7 needs a darn good dyno tune to begin with. Once that tune is in place you will see 500-520 rwhp. Headers AND full open exhaust 10-15 more. No headers will add 40+ just with a bolt on.

Rember most ppl who publish dyno charts take off the air filter which opens the engine up to breath.

On whose dyno? We have seen 420rwhp across 2 Mustang dynos with a stock C6Z06 with no tune. You're saying a tune makes 80-100rwhp?

Yeah I wanted to make a whole full duct air intake setup and I really want no mufflers just straight through pipes, but its gonna be loud.

only 420 rwhp on a C6Z06 ?? isnt that low? Now I relize Mustang dynos are a bit less then Dynojets, but shouldn't the stock numbers be higher ? and dynos are only for tuning purpoese, No tune will make 80-100 hp.

Maybe 80-100 Internet RWHP

A legit 550RWHP with pump gas and a streetable hydraulic cam through a full exhaust is pretty impressive... 650RWHP is pushing enveloppe... if someone figures out how to do this, please let me know

if your looking to 600 you will need IMHO pp heads, cam plus a few other things. Bolts on wont get you there.

Actully straight pipes are not that loud, more of a deep rumble.

Thats not low. The internet has HP numbers way out of wack and I've officially stopped even thinking about hp numbers that I read unless it's on a Katech dyno report.

I agree, if somebody can figure out how to make 650rwhp out of a NA 427ci LS7 please send me your resume.

I think 650 rwhp will be tough. I think it's possible though. By the way, I don't know if it was a typo you made but and LS7 only has one cam. I second sending your car to Katech though.
