H2 Performance parts (long)

[tbyrne]

There are a variety of performance parts available for the H2. Some are current mods that also work on the other versions of the 6.0 while others are H2 specific.

 

 

Corsa recently introduced 6 exhausts for this vehicle. This is  CORSA's  straight-through nonrestrictive design is specifically tuned for the H2 6.0L engine.

Two cat-back versions are available:

- The  H2-Touring Edition for enthusiasts desiring improved performance and greatly enhanced sound quality.

- The H2-Sport Edition offers maximum performance and a truly aggressive exhaust note during hard acceleration.

Both systems utilize CORSA's patented* Reflective Sound Cancellation (RSC) technology for superior acoustic control: a robust sound at full-throttle, yet whisper-quiet at cruise.

100% 304L stainless steel, precision crafted using the latest computerized mandrel bending equipment.

Two brilliantly polished 316L stainless steel tip styles are available for either version: the Dual Pro-Series 4.0 and the hydroformed Wide Mouth.

For the occasional or serious off-road warrior, CORSA includes a FREE clamp-on angle-cut tailpipe extension to temporarily replace the polished tip. Swapping takes just minutes.

 

Pricing ranges from $679.-$879.

 

 

They have produced gains of 22 horsepower and 25 ft./lbs. of torque on a stock 5.3L V-8. These exhaust headers are designed to work with all three V-8 engines; 4.8L, 5.3L and 6.0L. Features: 4.8L, 5.3L and 6.0L application; 1 3/4" Primary Tubes; HPC Ceramic Coated; Emissions Compatible; Laser cut flanges for accurate gasket seal; Includes headers, gaskets, bolts, and installation instructions. ** Does require some installation welding as documented in the installation instructions.

 

Next are The Other Guys mid length headers. One nice feature of these headers is their thick flanges -

 

 

14-gauge mild steel

Electroless-nickel-plated

Titanium-thermal-barrier-ceramic

Corrosion and heat resistant

1/2” thick precision-cut flanges

50-state legal

Gain of up to 43 horsepower (modified motor - we usually see about 25 on a stock - mildly modded vehicle)

California Air Resources Board (CARB) Exemption No. D-509

Exhaust flanges are made from beefy 1/2" thick steel plate (50–100% thicker than most others) and ground flat.

Thick 14-gauge tubing is used instead of ordinary 16 or 18-gauge. Tubes are precision TIG welded to the flange.

 

A.I.R. refers to factory installed air pump emissions systems.

A special Electroless nickel plating is used inside and out. This is twice as durable as stainless steel. These headers are so well built, they’re backed by an un-limited lifetime warranty

 

If you are looking for headers that will be a direct bolt on the JBA shorty headers are a good way to go -

This upgrade is usually good for a 10-12hp increase

 

 

Guys and girls looking for a big horsepower upgrade might want to think about the new intercooled Magnuson kit. This system includes the supercharger, new intake manifold with intercooler, fuel rails, larger injectors, computer programming, and a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. Full color step by step instructions are also provided. The advertised horsepower gain is in the 130-140hp range but recent magazine testing has show a 163hp gain on a 4.8 motor. This kit comes with a silver "stardust" finish and polished is available.

 

ATI will have an intercooled supercharger available next month. These revolutionary new SC ProCharger models are the first and only gear-driven centrifugal superchargers to feature self-lubrication. The SC models share many of the design elements which deliver the record-setting durability and performance of ProCharger competition superchargers, and are also quiet and street legal. The P-1SC is the most popular automotive supercharger, and with its rugged design is the only self-contained supercharger durable enough to be backed with a 3 year warranty and powerful enough to harness the benefits of intercooling. The patented design eliminates the need for oil lines and tapping the oil pan, thanks to its exclusive oil pump, which aerates the oil to create the oil mist lubrication required by the precision bearings and gears. This oil pump (aeration pump) does not require priming at start-up, and oil changes are required only every 6,000 miles. SC ProChargers also feature an internal step-up ratio of 4.10:1 for improved belt tracking and traction, and are cast with permanent molds for the highest quality finish.

System produces 8-9# of boost and comes with a 2 core intercooler. This system will show you a 60-65% increase in horsepower.

 

There are many more performance mods available for this motor including 1.85 rocker arms (15hp gain) and head/cam packages. More parts and info can be found in the truck section of our website.

 

Something that isn't a performance product but will greatly help with visability is HID lighting. We will soon have a kit available for this truck. It will be a direct replacement to the factory lights and cover the high and low beams. I should have some pictures and more info by the beginning of next week.
