Divide by my rear gears and it's right on. 460ish

I thought you had all seen it...but I guess not.....

so.........bump to relieve some stress on the camAro crew.

Heh heh, my Goat's pure stock - I can't even touch the power that Wm Holden's GTO puts out

…But if you're up for a hair-raising canyon run, I can give ya that

If I turn the steering right....rear goes left...if I turn left..rear goes....

It's an abbreviation for William

Wm,

Any ideas on what sort of development time we are looking at before Magnuson can bring a LS3 Camaro product to market? I mean are there any major components they would have to design for this application? How about an L99 version. What if any special considerations have to be addressed to work with the AFM. I for one would like to see it retained and have Magnuson tune it for optimal economy while still getting another say 35% more hp and torque ( I have a dream…. Of a conservative 550hp with equiv of 25 mpg highway, and a more realistic 27-28mpg at steady state cruse of 60-75mph)

[Wm Holden]

50% more hp and torque...I think I heard that AFM is a tuning problem...
(don't quote me though) ....I get 22.7 hwy in my A4.

I would have to say...give them a jingle. Nice people and I think you are in knee deep already.

Oh...sorry about that Navi....I know you can't even give it away right now.

I thought Magnuson was working on a kit that they placed in a Pontiac G8. For some reason I thought they use a L76 with AFM.

The fiancé would let me get rid of the Navi anyway, but the gas to haul my ass from Md to VA each day could go to better things. I’d rather leave it in the driveway during the week and sell her that the L99 Camaro as an economy car for my daily drive to work. (and compared to my current 14.2 mpg, it is!)
22.7 in my A4 , A4 referring to your GTO?
I just realized the “Virtual 9 liter”…force feed a 6 liter by another 50% atmospheric (7.7 essentially ½ 14.7) and there you get Virtual 9 liter.
What’s the compression of your LS2 vs. the upcoming LS3 and L99? Are you able to run that 7.5 psi at stock compression with no boost in octane?

10.5/1 stock compression. 91 octane.
Yes...you calc'd the virtual size right.
There is a tvs for the G8...

tvs 1900 on a g8

Wow, I have 93 octane in my area. Maybe 7.5 psi is doable afterall. Will have to watch for forced induction options for the L99 AFM management motor. So, Wm, have to ask, are you considering giving up that sleeper GTO for a Camaro when they come out? (Probably have to give up any degree of comfort while making out in the back seat)

[Wm Holden]

If I win the lottery...yes....I would love one....really though? I got NO SHOT.
I'm already "all in" money wise.
