I'm with Hio as far as the Vette either not having gears, not turning enough rpms or both.


Mavn on here has a similar cam and his results are the opposite. With an auto and a small 3200 stall. Some cars just run better than others.
Yes gears would be good to.

Run the pulley swap w/o a tune. Please report back to the basicness of the pulley swap.

idiots on this site.
Anyone with a cam worthy of the change should have the limiter set at 7k atleast.......and yes you are a idiot.

why are you basing if it's a simple mod off of if it needs a tune or not? it takes 15 minutes to swap a pulley and load a tune, how that's not basic I dont know. I guess a cold air on a 5.0 is a complex/in depth mod as well.

The reality is changing the altitude a engine runs at is not basic. The change of the pulley is easy but the effects are not basic.

While results may vary due to FI or NA - Intake, tune, pulley, exhaust, even injectors - all basic mods IMO. Going to hide now!

sure.....for anyone who can turn a wrench most of it is pretty easy. I just don't think the changing of altitude the engine runs at is "basic"........ and i have a car I changed that on.

The reality is HiO has more excuses than a cheating spouse about why forced induction is just a big meanie head and isn't fair which all boils down to his denial.

It's easier to make power, better drivability, etc.

Wake up, clown.

Really, Doug? Your go-to excuse for why your LS6 isn't a "swap" is because "it didn't need a tune." So following that lack of logic...

Exactly what rpm was the C5 shifting at? Its a little hard to know exactly by hearing the exhaust alone.

On another note, that was a great race.

And anyone notice how one toolbag got the boot a couple days ago and now another one is back?

You're the clown dumbass......To try and downplay the effects of FI is retarded. Remember I own a FI car.

I have no idea what rpm the c5 was shifting at. It really don't matter other than it was not enough for the cam he chose.

Gotchya. Stock LS1 heads aren't very beneficial for a 235/242 cam, especially at 6k+ rpm.

So...you haven't said that your LS6 wasn't a swap, it was a "replacement," for the very reason that you didn't have to get it retuned? For reference...

I have a termi motored notch......now that's a ****** swap

So what does that make your engine swap?

On the contrary, I'm not downplaying it, I said it's better, which it is. You have the mental capacity of a Neanderthal so it's really hard for you to swallow. You own a notch so the person who doesn't know better sees that and thinks your opinions are objective. El oh ******* el.

Every GM that has ever lost a race lost because they shifted 1500rpms too soon That's your new built in excuse. Do you keep a book of this ****?

So, my car is not basic because I have a tune? LOL. That theory is just over my head.

All in all, cammed C5 is slower than 2.81 Cobra. Modular ftw.

Lol I love how you conveniently leave out that the 281 modular needs like about 13 pounds of boost to keep up. Something a typical 2v owner would do.

Please let me know how that 281 would do against a cammed C5 on 13 psi. I'm just curious

The c5 is my car. Car has 806 heads that is why its shifted at 6k cuz power falls off after 6100. I have now since fixed exhaust leaks and yes it is still a 3.42 geard car. It needs a better head so bad its not funny. It laid down 405hp and 370lbs tq on shortunings dyno

Sure ls1 heads are not as good as other heads after 6k.......but there is no reason why they are still not goin up in power after that. Hell we turned a hotcamed ls1 6600. I turned a l98 headed 406 6800 or so.......You telling me a ls1 head don't breathe as well as a l98 head?

You really do save all my posts. As I said....a replacement. It ran on the stock tune @ wot. Try that with a pullied cobro.......don't talk **** about it go ******* do it or

I hit the nail on the head. Don't be skeered to turn bears......you can tell from watching the vid it wants more rpm. Turn it 500~rpm more and watch what happens.......Hell if your shifting @ 6100 you might want to try 700-800 more rpm.
