How this relates to internal performance baffles even I.

150 RWHP huh? I think you doubting this answers your own question.

If you make a mistake LS1tech.com allows you to EDIT and DELETE your own posts/threads.

So you can remove the thread if it's in the wrong section and start it again in the correct one.

And yeah it's bs, unless they are getting a new exhaust that just happens to be attached to a C6 Z06.

It could happen - I heard a little bit about some new 100+ h.p. performance parts from a company called Procharger. I'm not sure, but I think that they were exhaust parts...
