3" Stainless Steel exhaust into Borla XR-1 Racing Muffler (used as a mid-pipe) into a Racing Beat Dual Tip cat back

4" CAI

The suspension has been completely gone through:

Tein SS Coilovers with 8kg/6kg Springs
SuperPro Bushings (complete set)

Very very sexy

. I remember reading your whole thread on V8RX7forum (I think it was there). I was very impressed by your attention to detail and quality of work. I've really been toying around with the idea of doing a V8 FD some day

That engine looks like it belongs in there. Great job! Nice car!

The LS2 is basically stock with the exception of the CAI and the Exhaust as mentioned above. Here is the dyno chart from a recent event held at Corksports.

Thinking of a winter/spring project which involves L92 heads, a mild cam, and LS6 intake. This setup should be good for around 450 rwhp.

Max777 · 12-04-2009, 11:52 PM

/\ And that's all with a stock ECU or what? I did not see anything that mentioned engine managment.

If you can get 450whp out of an LS1 with an intake/ header/ exhaust, cam, heads, and not even tune it on top of it all, that is very impressive.

I wish I could bolt on a GT30 onto my 13b and not tune it.... that would be nice.

NoDOHC · 12-05-2009, 12:28 AM

I have seen 360 WHp out of LS1 with different Cam, headers and stock tune. I don't know about 450 WHp on a stock tune, maybe out of an LS2. (Bear in mind that a Mass Airflow based N/A configuration will accommodate flow improvements very well).

The engine is an '06 LS2 using the stock GM PCM (which is programable). It is very doable to get 450 rwhp with the mods listed.

Richard always does things right. I followed some of the look of his last rotary build on my car. Now I'm following some of his good ideas on my LS build and he's been great with helpful info.

Thanks again Richard.
