Stock that car should put close too that number. I dont know if the OO Hawks have the Ls6 intake, whats the casting number on your heads?

yeah, a tune would definitely help. if you get headers youre supposed to tune it. 313 is not right. i put down more than that stock.

I think some of it's in your head. I haven't driven my LS1 much (Winter in Alaska, yay!), but the week or so of driving to work and back with it when i first bought it, i got used to the pull. Once the weather forced me back to driving my Integra, that thing felt like a slow-*** pig. I mean, compared to the Z28 it is, but the Integra was at least fun to drive. My Z has forever changed the way i look at my Integra. I can't wait for Spring to roll around so i can drop the hammer on the Z again! lol.
