Default 2014 Chevy SS Dyno Tampa Tuning

Last week I dyno tuned a 2014 Chevy SS. The vehicle was stock except the air intake. It was an over the radiator type like Vararam. The SS looked a little sporty, but you wouldn't think twice about it.

With the LS3 attached to the 6L80 Automatic transmission, you better look twice and move out of its way. It had more RWHP out of the box than my 2010 Camaro with all the bolt ons. That's help from the true LS3 and not the L99.

The SS is a serious sleeper

Or buy a G8 GXP with the LS3, dang I can't wait to get mine tuned. The OTR intake was probably the VCM, those are nice pieces of work and dwarf the Vararam.

They are a collectors car to an extent, certainly those with very low mileage and in stock form. With only 1829 made, and bunch of them already wrecked and destroyed, there is a strong demand in the market for those 2nd and 3rd time buyers.
Its easy to say its not a colllector car now, give it 30-40yrs, Im sure there will be a niche high end market for them with the Pontiac die hards.

Steve brought the GXP to our shop Friday and it just fueled my lust for the GXP's.

You need to update your signature picture Steve!!!

Yep, the Saab is gone, and parts here and there are starting to show up in the mail for the GXP.
