Default Re: "Pilot" LS-6 engine dyno run resuls

It's kind of funny because so long ago the magazines wrote 50 HP with a header switch on an LS-6. That in it's self is night and day in a motor. Rick if you get a chance, can you look at the dyno sheets that have the header vs manifolds and report back where they make their peak horsepower? I would assume the headers make its horsepower peak 200-300 RPM higher with the headers. On manifolds, we had peak HP at 6000RPM.

If you carry the compression, retarding the camshaft from the stock 6 degrees advance to 1-2 advance really makes the top end work.

A guy named Weymouth has said he has seen it on a dyno and he is a Pontiac guy.
