Default 99 Formula, Vortech, H/C, numbers
Just got the car tuned right for the first time. Towed it a little over 18 hours to Clint @ American Intense Racing in Arvada, CO. First I would like to say how happy I am with the great service and professionalism, Clint did a great job. The car runs strong and I am very happy with the results.

The rundown:

347 w/ 9.0:1 forged bottom end
Vortech G-trim w/ 2.95 pulley (max boost was 7.5psi.) non-aftercooled
Patriot Stage 2 LQ9 heads
Comp SC1 cam 224/232
Siemens 60lbs. injectors
Meth Injection 50/50 mix
Hooker LT's
Stock LS1 intake
M6, Quick Performance 9" w/ 4.56 gears

All said and done she put down:
483hp 442 tq

Thanks again to Clint, if you're looking for a great tuner in the Denver area look no further.

This is true, all dynoes are different. I'm gonna say the main factor in this situation has to be the altitude in Denver. The 9" w/4.56 gears is eating up some power as well. An LS6 intake would be a cheap way to gain some more power with your setup as well.

Thanks guys. Clint told me the same thing that the 9" w/ 4.56s is a power eater. I plan on changing the intake just haven't decided which one yet. I'm not one that relies on hp/tq numbers, just hoping I can match or beat my best time of 11.34@124.
