This week"s Dyno Blast video features a 2006 Chevrolet Corvette packing the LS2 V8 as it makes couple runs on the rollers first stock, then modified. The first clip lets us hear the LS2 clear its throat as it is pushed to its limits in factory stock form, which delivers advertised numbers of 400 horsepower and 400lb-ft of torque at the crankshaft, but before adding some modifications, the owner wanted to get some base line numbers in order to see how much he gained from the aftermarket add-ons.The dyno sheet at the end of the video includes three sets of numbers for this 2006 Corvette, with the first two being stock numbers or 371.5 and 373.4 horsepower at the rear wheels. That is only an 8% drivetrain loss, so the LS2 is clearly underrated from the factory.The bright red 2006 Corvette then got a Comp Cams camshaft, long tube headers and a handful of other items, along with an engine tune. After adding these goodies, this Chevy sports car laid down 443.42 horsepower at the rear wheels an improvement of roughly 72 wheel horsepower.Factoring in a reasonable drivetrain loss figure of 15%, this Corvette"s 443.42 horsepower at the wheels translates to roughly 520 horsepower and the crankshaft from the cam, headers and tune.Best of all, the LS2 sounds wicked with the cam and heads, so in addition to showcasing how much power the cam and headers add. It also gives this Corvette a far more aggressive tone at idle and at wide open throttle, so crank up your speakers and enjoy!Tags: 2006, c6, c6 corvette, Corvette, Dyno Blast, LS2
