We were able to see a horsepower increase of 234.76hp and an increase in torque of 160.58 ft/lbs. With horsepower and torque increase like this you would probably expect to loose a lot of drivability. The guys at A&A were able to create a kit that allows the car to produce these kinds of number and be very mannerly until you jumped on the throttle. Once you hammer down on the gas the car starts making huge power and screams like a kid that just had a butt woopin' in Wal-Mart. Another contributing factor to the great street manners was the Mcleod RST clutch we installed in this car to take all the power. Even being a twin disc 800hp clutch it has a lighter than stock pedal feel and will take all this car can throw at it. Keeping this beast all strapped together was a set of HINSON Motorsports engine and transmission mounts. Our interlocking stainless steel design, combined with a special blend of poly urethane helps keep the engine and transmission strapped in tight to ensure better shifts and less vibration. All in all the A&A kit went on pretty smooth and is a pretty quick way to achieve some serious power increases, and still be capable of being a daily driven Corvette.
