I can feel a significant difference between my car today and last night. According to my dynolicious app on my Ipod my car went from 340whp to 315. lol I need a CAI soon and a 180 thermostat. What is the stock thermo on these 6.0's?

Look @ the Vector heat soak reduction kit. The IAT sensor sits inside the maf on LS2 cars. Since the Maf housing gets very hot and retains the heat it keeps your IAT sensor reading 20 to 30 degrees higher than ambient. The factory sensor is very, very, very smurfing slow. The vector kit relocate's the IAT sensor to wherever you choose to place it & replaces the retarded stock sensor with a fast acting IAT sensor.

Oh I forgot about the svede with your IAT relocate. Its awesome and sits the IAT sensor close to the front grill and the Intake looks great while making more power & getting rid of heatsoak.

and a 180 thermostat
You can run your engine at 160* but if you've got sky high air intake temps then it's not going to matter.
Icing the intake manifold between runs also helps

Some day when you take your car to the track (and it's not hot out) do a couple of runs and then take the top off the Volant's box and do it again. You'll see a couple of MPH quicker traps without the top. The Volant is fairly restrictive due to that box and the tube.
