So I dynoed My 2006 LS yest along with everyone else. Although I was the slowest one there, I was very impressed with my numbers. For performance mods, I have an ebay CAI w/AEM dryflow filter, clear image tri-y highflow midlength header, highflow cat and dp, and SSSC stock exhaust w/o resonator. Stock it puts down 145hp to the crank, and with a 15-20% (approx) loss through the drivetrain...it stock puts down about 116-123hp to the tires. My runs were:
1- 3rd gear: 144whp and 146wt
2- 3rd gear: 146whp and 148wt
3- 4th gear: 145whp and 155wt

I was very happy with my gains...although not the fastest...she did well

Here is the graph, vid to come later:

the spike at the end is my speed limiter blast!!!!

 

That dyno looks oddly familiar. Let think where I have seen that before.....

Nice numbers by the way.

 

way to rep the 2.2's i like those numbers.

 

nice numbers, i feel i have a little more hope for my 2.2 haha

 

Nice numbers indeed!...I just dont understand how you have almost the same numbers as me and my car is rated at 200hp 205tq. Granted I have an auto but I can't see them being that close lol

 

thanks man. I was pretty impressed with these considering my bolt ons. Im doing a full exhaust here soon, so maybe a few more horses out of it. It sounded amazing too. The videos are being worked on now, and then i will be able to upload that. Ill keep working on it

the clear image header and dp is AMAZING!!! From my math it added 12-15% HP!! It really depends on the dyno as well...but my car was running great that day

 

keep up the good work keep reping us 2.2 woo! once i get my credit cards paid my mods will begin, im thinking of a turbo

 

Just keep up hope, the 2.2 has ALOT of potential. With what I have done here I have it about to where a 2.4 is stock...just a few more mods and I'll be keeping up with the stock sc's haha

Thats my end goal. I am putting myself through college right now though, so it gets to wait

 

Im thinking of getting a 2.2 out of a wrecked cobalt, seen those for about $400ish. build that up with pistons rods, cams ect so she can handle high boost and pull my "warranty" engine out so if i blow that one i can put that engine back in

 

I have been wanting to go to the dyno shop thats around here. I am dying to know what I get. I have GMPP intake, GMPP catback, Polished ss/sc exhaust manifold, ss/sc downpipe, 2.4 Intake manifold, and RKsport conductor springs. I would LOVE to hit 160

 

Nice #'s

5 spd I assume?

With the same mods I put down 10whp less than you. see sig.

 

I'm stock, but i hold with rice cars and v6 stangs and camaros.....but once i get some cash project OrangeFastLs

 

youll prob be right around my numbers...my buddy has the sc header and dp, put it on his the same day i put on the clear image header and dp, but him and i raced and i had him by almost a car by 80mph; and the exhaust is a prob a lil gain, but more sound on than hp increase. You will see some gains in the high end rpm with your intake mani, but it will take slightly longer to get up there from what ive been told. More power to you if you can though!! That would be awesome to see!! Let us know how it goes!!

Nice, ya, i contribute the extra HP to the clear image header dp, it is awesome!!!!!

and yes, 5 speed lol. i will get some video up once its done

how big of an icrease did you see/feel with the 2.4 intake mani, this may be my next mod....

 

Very nice #'s! Be sure to post your graph in the Official dyno numbers thread!


BTW, its kind of weird that the tq went up so much on the last run.

 

im saying the same thing...only diff is a 4th gr pull instead of 3rd...but im liking 4th gear even more :P

 

I got 6 peak whp out of it.

 

Different gear perhaps? He switched to 4th gear.

Beat me to it. ^^^

 

nice...i am going to do this and the full exhaust and then work on suspension and appearance for now

 

keep us posted on your gains, i know if u do it right u could hold with the ss/sc probably All Motor that would be nice haha then have nitrous in the trunk just in case haha, but with a turbo and built 250-300 would be nice haha

 

thats what im looking for. i want to get to 300hp so im about half way there haha. I will DEF keep you all updated, this dyno shop is only a few miles from my place and will do 3 pulls for 55$, so its a good place to keep testing it out. When I finish these mods, by the math that most are finding (a 23% drivetrain loss to the wheels) then I will be right at the same as a stock ss/sc so maybe...just maybe when i get the 2.4 intake mani and the exhaust...I will be able to neck and neck a stock sssc that would make my day hahaha...."slightly modded ls takes an sssc...and NO, its not due to driver error for once!!!)....hmmm...

 

Im still thinking on getting a 2.4 though, better base and im tired of not having power windows, or anything but not sure, might add them myself anyone ever attempt this?

 

Very nice numbers...

 

i got power door locks done at cartoys lol....there is a howto on power windows int he howto thread. it just isnt worth the neg equity that you would have to eat to get it done...

Thanks to all those that have complimented the numbers!! she ran well...i am proud of her...now...how to reward her...hmmm....

 

so how much did they charge you to do so? i could do it but im lazy haha

 

i did mine with alarm and everything, but it was like 200$ for the parts and install...but mine was with 1500$ worth of parts and work..so its discounted lol. I did pwr locks, alarm, backup alarm, pain generator, pioneer prem head unit, ipod hookup, amp, and subs and all installed at once in one day lol
