my friends 05 GTO put down 38xHP to the wheels with headers intake and aftermarket mufflers and a tune. m6 stock was i think 35xhp im not sure the exact numbers ill ask him tomorrow and post. but his car he put the stock manifolds and air intake back on to buy a STS kit and the car ran a 12.9@112.8 with just aftermarket mufflers on it. 2.0 60ft powershifting.
the thing id want to know is if the ls2 intake is actually better than the ls6 or not? i always hear about the ls6 intake. but if its worth buying an ls2 intake then i probably would.

So yeah hypertech at least doesn't do anything. Thats why I sold it for $50 bucks. It came with my car. I didn't buy it and I wouldn't reccomend anyone else to buy it.
