New to the board, but not to the LS engine.

This is my second 4th gen, but first with the LS, last was an LT1 that I did intake, cam, exhaust & suspension on.

This one is in good nick. UK Spec, 4L60e, TTops, I want to dyno it stock, well with the Borla cat back it has on it. Then with just tune only before I add some extra parts :)

Mods already purchased sitting on the floor are..

Comp LSR 219/227-112 0.60x
Patriot Dual Gold Springs
LS2 chain
LS6 Intake & 28lb injectors
BBK LT's with dual 2.5" into 3" Y (only $350 USD a bargain IMO)
Plus either some old ported 853 heads or a near new 243 set.. will decide based on p2v clearance. The 853's should flow more.

Will add an SLP or similar lid later in the year and run mafless setup with efilive, which Ive already set up by running the custom operating system 5, which gives valet mode, nos switch, 2.5 bar boost support etc. Though only intend to run NA. Hoping for 270rwhp to 370rwhp upgrade, but we will see..

Pics & results to follow..

nice to see you on here dude.

Car should run real nice with those mods. I think if you have the brass i'd go with ported heads. I was considering porting mine till I got some cheap 243s.
I'm still fiddling with my tune but will get there. Gonna take your advice and lean to 13.1 at WOT :D

keep us informed of your progress :D

Pretty much the full pile of mods.
Intake, exhaust and pulley with cam.

Stock is around 280rwhp I believe, hoping for somewhere around 370rwhp after mods :)

drool :)

Nice headers! What's the story on the cylinder heads new / ported & polished etc?

What intake manifold is that, like that Matt black finsih :)

Headers are chromed bbk's. Super cheap set, full length with y pipe only $360 new.
Intake is OEM LS6 from a Holden (they fitted an SC) Cost me PX on a clutch I had.
Headers are 1.75 into dual 2.5 into single 3"
I expect to be exhaust restricted for about 20% of flow. 3" pipe flows around 360fwhp, Ill be about 450fwhp, so will lose some power because of that.
But its a budget build. Cruise and part throttle should be good. WOT perhaps Ill be down a bit, but Im sure given it breaks traction ok stock it will be more than enough to play with.

Certainly look forward to seeing all this go in! feel free to document some of it to help us "mechanically challenged" get an idea of how it all fits together :)

Cheers!

RWHP of course ;)

Was higher than I was expecting. Has cat back, AFR pretty flat at the right number for max power in the LS.
Baseline before mods. Hoping to add ~70rwhp to the number.

Will go supercharged LS hunting with it afterwards ;)

That's a good RWD figure as stock. I guess the exhaust is releasing a bit, and the engine is obviously healthy...

Let the changes begin..

Welcome and very nice base line.

I hope you meet your goal. Are you planning on putting an aftermarket converter?
