383 stroker 11:1 comp Ls6 w/patriot stage 2.5 heads, Patrick G "torker" cam, Fast 90, 42# injectors, ported Ls2 tbody, B&B long tubes and full 3" exhaust, will get you in at just under 500 at the wheels, add a 150hp TNT shot that will get you 618rwhp/687rwtq on the bottle.

I have seen a LS6 with Trick Flow heads, Long tubes, Vengance Vindicator Cam, Ported Polished, Fast 90, plus other stuff top 500hp but it was EXPENSIVE work and it wasnt in a V, it was in a C5 Z06.

Re: How high can a non boost V go? 450? 475?

stock bottom end LS6 should easy be able to get 500HP NA. it wont be cheap but good things in life never are LOL Anything more than that HP wise is getting close to the edge IMO..

seen tons of exhaust, heads, cam IE "bolt ons" camaros and TAs hit 480-500 HP on stock bottom end LS1.

Its all about finding the right combo and a good tune

Re: How high can a non boost V go? 450? 475?

Cam and bolt ons [ no kooks just TPIS headers shitty 2.5'' exhaust] i made 428rwhp 396tq in my V. i can imagine a nasty set of heads ported fast 90/90 will make close to 500rwhp N/A

my fathers class 1 off road car has 655hp and 670ftlb. its a na ls-1.

it was built by lingenfelter.

stock block, it popped a rod out the side of it, welded the hole up and since hasnt had a single problem, doesnt stop making power until 8k rpm. its a beast.

945liter,
yes I saw your youtube video.
Can you tell me (us) the cam spec's?
428rhwp -- impressive
bolt on's which ones?
The TPiS headers you have what size are they 1 3/4 or 1 7/8?
...TPis better than Kooks?

Re: How high can a non boost V go? 450? 475?

Do it right and spend the money on a serious, high-performance motor. For, say, $15k, you can make a reliable MONSTER (& no, I wouldn't even CONSIDER dropping an LS7 into my If I was going to do it again, that's EXACTLY the route I would go.

Seriously, I'd chuckle at my '09V with the motor Andy at A&A was going to biuld for me, which would slide nice and easy into my '05 with no issues whatsoever.

Oh, and it would pass CA smog as well...

Gas mileage? Okay, let's not go there...

PS i get 26MPG at 75mph

TPIS is not better then kooks but i paid 400 shipped used 1 3/4 dented too lol
i have CAI/ ported TB [homemade] / full exhaust not the best.../ ls7 FW CLUTCH Kit that probably freed up some HP and Patriot Valve train and 25% UD pulley. [Stock heads and intake manifold]
231/235 617/620 112 +4 LSA i would say its a medium size cam it keeps good drive ability still and i made more HP then my friends MS4 powered z06 with kook longtubes and ETC from 3k rpm - 6600. 6600+ he made like 6 more hp and i made more TQ the entire time lol.
