Default Thank's G FORCE

I'll try to make this short.
My car was a turd 409/382 with tfs 215's MTI V1 cam,MTI tune, ls6 intake flp lt's with 2.5" Y with cats
I knew the intake and exhaust were not helping but damn LOL.
By the way My car made 13 more rwhp on MTI's Dyno 422/385 same setup same tune a week apart,don't get caught up in dyno #'s
Anyway after bugging the hell out of Predator Z/ Patrick G I learned alot
So i got in touch with Ron@Vengeance and Mikey @ Rapid awesome people.
I added Ron's ported fast and Mikey's custom cam and wow big difference.
I picked up 40 rwhp/30 tq
Ron's intake is a work of art,And Mikey cam he spec'd for me is inceridible thanks again guys
We had to lower the idle so we could get a little chop out of it LOL.
G Force all i can say is thanks Mike.W & Jay did not take my car of the rollers untill i was happy
I convinced all 230'ish cams are not equal it's in the lobe itself /VE'S.
With the exception of a little chop the car drives like stock.
My car doe's not sound like i'm ready to race every time i start it now
We actually made a little more but Mike @ G Force and myself wanted a safe tune.
I know these are not big internet #'s but i'm quite happy
I have some ARH Headers on the way as we speak.
We will see what happens then.
I will try to get a graph posted this weekend.

Mike,

I will bet anything you pick up 15-20 rwhp taking those FLP's off. I ran into a #'s issue when I had my FLP's. Congrats let us know when you get the car on the dyno with new LT's.


Thank you for a thread that deals performance cars

Mike-

Car sounded real good yesterday and pulled like a beast! Put those headders on and you'll be !! It still perplexes me how we couldn't get the stock intake into the F.A.S.T. box

Are you going to change out that 2.5" Y too? Thats a big restriction itself!

Congradulation's on the rest though. Looks like your now making 450/418. Those are good #'s. The G-Force crew has always taken care of me. Great guys up there.
