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.

No atleast 650whp because lrg long tube headers have added 40hp plus on a stock engine.
Rember most ppl who publish dyno charts take off the air filter which opens the engine up to breath.

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.
