yeah, the same was true with my auto 5th Gen...

Nothing a tune and a turbo/blower wouldn't cure...

I love the long and angry pull of a boosted auto, that never falls out of boost or misses a gear...

I almost wound up with a 2011 auto white 5.0, it was very plain jane, I made a lowball offer and unfortunately the dealer didn't bite...

from driving it, it felt like a high 13 lower 14 car, but I am at a high altitude so cars are very slow up here, which is why I will boost it...

up here the turbo 4 banger cars are tough to beat if you leave your ls1, ls2, ls3, 5.0 stock....

It happens here as well. There is plenty of high HP evo's here that will break even 500-600whp V8's off.

60 hp tune only doesn't happen on an f-body. Not on a stock car. He is blowing smoke up your ***, or someone is. Maybe 20-30 rwhp. The gen 5's only pickup about 5-15 rwhp, but the trans tun makes all the difference.

when I had the p-zero's I wasn't making any power so I couldn't judge them.

the Invo's are hooking up nicely on a warm surface...being 315's help..
I like them very much, Chantilly Lace is rather strong from a dig....

LT's, Exhuast, lid, and tune sprinkled with a dash of hopes and dreams and you might pick up a total of 61whp.

The only NA car that I've ever heard of that can pick up 60whp from a dyno tune is a c63 AMG. Even then that require !deletes like the charcoal filters
