Hey, I lasted a whole summer without doing anything to the car. I think that showed some restraint. The A&A kit is great. They worked pretty hard to keep the power and boost down in a "safe range". The kit just makes a ton of boost and there is not much room to go with a bigger blower pulley (4.25" now). So for now I just have to keep the RPM's down (rev. limit @ 6100) with the stock high comp. motor.

Special thanks to the ESP team for doing a great job!

, Ken

Brad,

We ended up with 520rwhp and 460 tq @6100 RPM (rev. limited). This was with 10* timing adv., A/F just around 10:1, and ~8 PSI.

The first run was aborted early because we were seeing 10 PSI and 555 rwhp already by 6500 RPM. If we spun the motor all the way up we would probably have hit 12 PSI. That's just too much on a stock LS6 for me to be comfortable.

-Ken

Don,

I don't think I want to find out what the car will run at the track because that just leads to trouble, LOL. You know fast is never fast enough so I'll be better off not knowing.
