Default G5x3

I am swamped @ work today, so I don't have time to go through a long and detailed review. I'm trying to get everything taken care of so I can take off for the Thunder Shootout. So, I will keep this short. The car makes some really crazy power. I have done a dyno graph comparison of a totaly stock graph and the G5X3. The Runjet viewer seems to have an issue with my PC. I am using the graph Lou used on the 470.3, and when it gets to 454.xx it goes flat. Anyhow, the HP was 470 with the 3.42s. I was there when they dyno'd the 4.10s and the car made 463. It is a bit louder than it was before, since it now has no cats. It runs ~2500 RPM @ 80 MPH. I ran between 75-80 all the way back, and used 1/2 a tank from Dallas to Houston. As I said, when I have a few moments I will give a complete rundown on things. To put it quite simply, the car is making crazy power...

Here are the two graphs.

HP


TQ

Whats the difference between the two graphs? The one is 428, and the other 454 (but is 470)

I can't wait until I get my car together and hope to see this power..

What do you mean by intake restriction?

Specs are not public per LGM's policy.

One graph is HP the other is torque. They are compared to a stock Z06 graph.

I think gator was joking about the intake restriction - saying that was why the graph flatlined at 57-5800 rpm Congrats and I can't wait to see it run at thunder this weekend.
