I am hoping this will get me to around 370 rwhp, do you guys think that is possible? Also I am coming from a 08 g35xs so this should be a big improvement. I can't wait to get into another v8 car I really miss my 04 V1.

Did you buy one yet or are you still looking? I'm going to be putting up my 2010 2SS for sale soon. Already modded to make 435rwhp and has 3.91 gears. 9200 miles garage kept, one owner.

I wish I could get a stick, but a drunk driver hit me when I had my cts-v and my left knee is toast. What numbers do you think I will see with those mods, if you don't mind answering.

Try shorties and see if you can get away with high flow cats. The mods you're calling out and a tune will get you close to 400 and maybe past it.

I'm in CA with an LS3 and I'm pushing over 420 to the wheels with the Vararam Ram Air, BBK 95mm Throttle Body, BBK shorty headers, JBA high flow cats, a Flowmaster catback, and a tune. Passed Smog last year no problem (passed visual / passed OBD II testing / no codes).... and this is Cali... the worst of the worst when it comes to emission control.

What rwhp do you guys think I will make with cai, tb, cat-back and custom Dyno tune for slowhawk performance. I was hoping for 380, but I don't think that will happen, I would be happy with 350-360. Also will the custom Dyno tune tune the tranny also since I have heard the A6's are great when tuned.
Thanks

According to RonTammy (sp?) he had a trans tune and

over it.
Then he went to a 3.91 screw (~20% RW torque increase) and was

Finally added a 3200 (IIRC) stall. Now he's

I have 27k saved up to buy the car so I figure 22k on the the car and 5 on mods. Then when I save up more it's all gonna go to mods good willing lol. I would love to get the car to around 600rwhp like, but that takes time and patience. Now I got plenty of time, but patience on the other hand not sommuch

I have a 2010 2SS/RS/M6-LS3. It's a R6P early order preproduction. I have a CAI and exhaust cutouts but I don't have headers. After I had the car tuned it dyno'ed @ 419RWHP so I don't think you would have to do much to get yours to 370RWHP.

3.91s on l99 makes it fun

ZED SLED · 01-19-2018, 06:44 AM

My 2010 LS3 with shorties, HF cats, and CAI made 417/419 with a tune. It made 365 stock. Those mods should get you to around 380, maybe more with a more aggressive tune.

391 Gears will deff be done at some point

JMJ4492 · 01-19-2018, 11:48 AM

Also thinking about get a fast lsx intake manifold would I need headers as a supporting mod for one.

Seriously though, you'll likely need headers to get to those numbers.

I was waiting to see this. I just didn't think it'd be the first reply lolol

How "toasted" is your knee? The Camaros have have a super light clutch IMO.

Consensus on here is it’s not worth the money.

Op the l99 is a great platform....your bolton list will put you around the 360 to 375 rwhp range. Add a aggressive trans tune..... stall and 391s and your outta here.
