How much HP does a Stage 2 cam add?

Stage 2: this is typically referred to an engine with a performance cam upgrade as well as the other components within a Stage 1 combination. A typical Stage 2 has generally +20-25% more HP than stock.

How much horsepower can a 6.0 handle?

Even a decade ago, before PCM tuning was anywhere near as refined as it is now, several 6.0L owners proved the 6.0L’s bottom end could withstand 700-rwhp. Today, a lot of serious enthusiasts conclude that the 800 hp 6.0 Power Stroke range gets you into unchartered waters with a 6.0L.

How much hp can a 6.0 Powerstroke handle?

800-rwhp
However, the rods used in the 6.0L are vastly stronger than what was employed in the 7.3L. When the same tuning theory is applied (waiting until higher rpm before pouring on the fuel), the 6.0L rods can handle as much as 800-rwhp (and 1,300 to 1,400 lb-ft) before they’re officially on borrowed time.

How much power does a cam swap add to a Ly6?

The dyno soon put our fears to rest, as the cam swap on the LY6 netted impressive gains. The peak power output was 514 hp at 5,900 rpm, while peak torque was up to 493 lb-ft of torque at 4,600 rpm. (For those keeping score, that’s more HP and torque than a stock LS7, yet a full liter smaller.)

How much power and torque does an LS7 engine have?

The peak power output was 514 hp at 5,900 rpm, while peak torque was up to 493 lb-ft of torque at 4,600 rpm. (For those keeping score, that’s more HP and torque than a stock LS7, yet a full liter smaller.) So far, we had achieved two elements, but only if they came with no loss would we achieve the trifecta.

Can a cam swap be applied to a stock engine?

Though the cam swap can be applied to any stock 6.0L (or any other displacement), our test motor started out life as a 2008 LY6. In addition to the iron block and aluminum, rec-port LS3 heads, the LY6 also featured VVT cam operation.
