Default Shop car update

This is our shop car. It's a 2011 2SS with an A6 tranny.

Mods before Cam are ARH 2" headers and there #' dual exhaust, Airad cold air,160 t-stat.

Parts added - AFM/DOD delete with new lifters,3 bolt cam sprocket, oil pump,new covers, Our custom stage 1 cam 2xx/23x and patriot extreme springs. These are the onlt parts changed,with full tuning before/after.

Car is idling at 650rpm on the stock converter. Cam was picked to compliment the future Kenne Bell 2.8L blower.

Also a printout of stock vs now.

Thanks
Don
