Exclamation Warning!! Beware of g-force!! Warning!!

When you bring your car in and they get more horsepower out of it than you were expecting, well, that's a good thing! Expected around 380 - 400RWHP, got 412RWHP!

Thanks to Greg, Jay, Mike & Robert!

I'm totally stoked at the job you guys did! Thanks!



Kyle

Damn K, you are actually making a little power now. I thought you said you were going to get rid of the Camaro for a Crown Vic because you were getting too old for the car hobby. What made you change your mind?

What cam did you end up going with? Hopefully we have some good weather this weekend so I can check it out.

originally this was for the op, but I just saw your numbers and I am now curious about your setup. I have been sitting on a bunch of parts (cam, FAST intake, etc) and have been waiting for tax time to pick up some heads for my project..

The G-Force crew is a great. They do great work and Mikey is a wiz on the dyno. Took my car in and it picked up nearly 70rwhp! All from the tune!

Right? He could go to ARD and they could spray nitrous in the cold air intake like they usually do and make bigger numbers for him and put a big smile on his face
