LS3 West Coast Cylinder Heads Swap - Head Games
Redline's hulking tech Jon Bettini owns our murdered-out '09 C6 test car, which prior to the head swap was sporting Kooks long tube headers, X-pipe with high flow cats, Borla catback, VaraRam cold air intake, and a real lumpy cam. The healthy hydraulic roller measures 239/247-duration, .623/.623-inch lift, and 115LSA with 3-degrees of advance. This combo took the LS3 from 406 rwhp (stock) to a shocking 482. A peak at the EFILive datalogue from the dyno pull seemed to indicate the custom tune was spot on. View Related Article
