Did you pick it up with the mods or have had them done since you got it?

No he thinks he has 290rwkw. I doubt it very much, unless it's the worlds best freak engine.

A good OTR and mafless tune will actually get you to the 290rwkw mark. After that the best options are either cam upgrade or supercharger. Whilst supercharging may seem expensive initially, all the other mods you need to get the same power will end up costing you a similar amount - and be illegal.

He already said he's already getting 290rwkw ...

lol settle down, it's called a joke. My point was, there is no way an LS2 with full exhaust and intake will make 290rwkw. So either his power figure is b/s, he has an '08 model E1 or someone has swapped his LS2 for an LS3.

But thanks all the same for schooling me on the difference between the LS2 and LS3. Clearly someone who has SilverVH as his nick would have no idea otherwise :rofl2:

Its ok, I'm only stirring.

My mates LS3 went 350ish through a manual with full exhaust, cam and MAF retained tune. The only problem with the LS2 are the heads, everything else about them are great and it doesn't take much to get them to respond powerwise. Swapping heads to L92 being the first port of call :D
