Default 2008 corvette numbers

LG motorsports long tubes and x pipe, no cats, Borla exhaust, Vararam intake through an unlocked Auto.

We still have some minor tweaking to do to the tune but I dont expect any gains.

First pull was after installs but still a stock tune.

18rwhp and 10rwtq after tune.

Looks like great numbers to me! With the auto that thing is gonna haul some *** at the track with some sticky tires. Hell, these A6 autos even haul *** from a roll.

God damn it. My setup may be very mild, but it's still a H/C LS1 and putting down LESS power than that. I need an LS3. Great results, guys.

Great results, those numbers are on par with the 08 bolt-on A6 vette that we had a several months ago.

Brian does good work from what I have seen

Thanks T/A kid, the kind words are much appreciated.

John, sorry you arent crazy about the sound. I love that borla. Of course, exhaust tone is all about personal preference.

I have the mod bug something awful right now for my C5. the cam, springs, pushrods and seals are sitting here on my desk. The Kooks LTs and Xpipe are on order.

Need to order some heads when I get the money.

how much do those things weigh? An LS1 would need a good amount of money to produce those numbers. Then an Fbody would need some weight reductions to hang with that.
