Talking Dyno'd the LS3

Mods are a K&N CAI, 160T, propped shroud:


Pulls were made with the hood closed and exhaust flaps open. No tuning was done, these are the baselines.

A6 with 2.73 option and NPP exhaust.

Thats almost identical to what our Manual 08 Vette did stock so yours is doing well with the A6. Check out our website for modifications and packages available for that car. We have seen some very promising results from the LS3 cars.

Congrats on the car!!
