Section Moderator Member # 56 posted                        I think your right... Some are thinking 420 hp right from the factory... The ls2 cam has the same .525 lift as the 2001 z06 which was rated at 385..but the LS2 has a ton of other improvements that many feel should show more than 15 hp over 01 ls6.. Sounds like a logical assumption too. -------------------- 2008 Black/blk C6 Z51 NPP M6 2008 Silver/blk CTS FE2 AWD 304hp Posts: 9560 | From: North East | Registered: Dec 2000  |  IP: Logged |  motorman C5Forum Fanatic Member # 64 posted                        plus torque up the ass!!! the best engine,HP and torque per cu in i ever saw on a dyno was a 4.00" bore X 3.625" stroke GEN I engine and this is the LS-2 configuration -------------------- corvette owner since 1959,new corvettes owned,59 62,63,64,65,66,97,99,02,05,2008 coupe, race engine builder,former NASCAR tech inspector Posts: 649 | From: pa | Registered: Dec 2000  |  IP: Logged |  motorman C5Forum Fanatic Member # 64 posted                        did you notice the C-6 has a top terminal battery,i have heard that the 04 C-5 does also. the also moved the TB servo motor to the passenger side. -------------------- corvette owner since 1959,new corvettes owned,59 62,63,64,65,66,97,99,02,05,2008 coupe, race engine builder,former NASCAR tech inspector Posts: 649 | From: pa | Registered: Dec 2000  |  IP: Logged |  J.B.
