'06 GTO - TVS2300 6psi

[farmtruc]

Well it is Tuesday...

I know , I know, we got the cam and headers in, all done on our part, damn dual spring kit from comp is missing the retainers, should be here this week.

btw, went ahead and ordered a ls7 clutch upgrade kit w/ aluminum flywheel
btw, got the 8ps pulley too, that'll be last.
I'll do a before and after with the al flywheel, but with a charger, heat is everything, so up or down 10hp is typical with back to back runs.

or a G8 .............

not to get off topic, but I wonder why the G8's LS2 is only rated at 365hp .... smaller cam i guess ???

I thought I posted this elsewhere, GM and I had a discussion about this. I told them back in '05 when they were getting the ground work done for the new G8, that I had just bought my '05 GTO, and even though the G8 is going to have newer technology, I couldn't allow the G8 to produce more HP than my, used to be, brand new car.
So, after going back forth for months, it was decided that they would detune the calibration a bit and install a slightly less aggressive cam.

So there you have it, that's the reason.

Seriously? I must be living under a rock, or not on this site long enough. If so, who's idea was torque management? Serious question, not trying to test you cause I don't know.

GM does not build trucks for performance but to last the customer 100K miles without breaking down. If you have the transmission slamming gears with the most available engine HP/TQ being applied at the same time, the 60e is not going to last any time at all in a vehicle that is driven every day. This is why some of us have chosen to upgrade to the 80e, a transmission that can handle the severe abuse some of us put our trucks through. Remember, the 60e is a car transmission originally designed to pull around 4000 lbs, not 5000-6000 lbs.
