Jay is a good guy, I'm guessing you picked up one of their intake, tune, pulley setups? I'm running their 110MM MAF housing with their RAI and 12" S&B filter. A real dyno tune can make a huge difference on these cars. My setup was tuned by Lund and he picked up a lot of power.

Evolution is a good spot for GT500, they're also where I order all my parts.
Thxs for the info....

New Z06 puts a hurtin on the budget so it was the most logical answer to being let down from this new camaro bullshit...If GM didn't give me time to think about what I was doing and my car that was built for almost two months now was delivered as promised this wouldn't of happend...LOL

Way to go General....
