Here, the c7 has been out for what, a few weeks, and there's already multiple long tube headers, cnc'd heads, "5" camshafts, and tuning. And guys are cracking remarks that it didn't make more power. It's only been a week.

I'm waiting to see someone toss a centri-blower on it or a turbo and push a few pounds of boost and see what it does.

Exactly, We have plenty more in store and cant wait to get to it. In the end though, we are still a small company and customers cars need finished too.

All testing on this car still has the same small cam in it. Chambers in the heads are 61cc. So compression fell a slight amount due to the CNC cleaning up the chambers.

Nope its still running. Just have a lot of customers cars to finish while trying to find time to work on ours. Although we have done quite a bit more testing so far.

Customers Heads/Cam/Converter car we did.

4th cam we've tried in our own car.

then we installed an A&A kit.
