Here is the BAD C5 on the rollers and the results:




346 RWHP & 339RWTQ were the final numbers.
Not bad a an auto with just a set of headers /Corsa Extreme's & a Vararam :D

Thanks guys, There are a few things I would like to do, cam / heads are one of them. But also thinking of new wheels and rubber. Would like to go to a black rim.
 
:coolgleam:

good to know!!! ya in the end i thought with stock 243's I did pretty good in comparison... i think 450 with TFS's was real but for an extra $2300 over the port job? :eek: i'm a happy camper!!!
 
Many dealers take the stock LS6 castings and rework the intake, bowl area and exhaust ports with either a custom
hand grinding or a cnc porting of the heads, they can make very good numbers.
I was looking at the Trickflow cnc machined units but the price at that time was more then I wanted to spend
but the "As Cast" where just coming out on the market and where a fraction of the price and where only 10hp less
then the cnc'd units so that is the direction that I went.
Before that I was looking at the LS6 casting with the water chilled marks, 5-10hp more over the normal
or a set of Patriot Performance or Texas Speed ported LS6 units, there is lots of info out there for Paul to read
when and if he is ready to do the next round of mods.
