So, after more research, I don't see a solution for me with A&A BC after mechanical install, I wouldn't be able to start the car w/o towing it somewhere.
At least the E-Force (albeit maybe not the best tune) is a complete DIY, which I insist if I go forced induction at all. I can correct a bad or average tune down the road.
I saw another mfgr, ECS I think it was, that completes the kit with a Diablosport. I use a Diablosport now, so I might be able to access the tune itself.
Thanks anyway...Looks like I'm headed in another direction.
Best,

Best,
Or you can buy the SC kit from us and mail the pcm here for a base tune that is super conservative and then get it dialed in perfect in-person by yourself or at a tune shop.

They take 10 minutes to install once you are wherever is doing the tune.

If you're looking to do business with a company that actually answers their phones A&A is it! Even when they are supposed to be on vacation and treating their employees to a weekend at a beach house, they took the time to answer my questions and place the order for my parts. Definitely wouldn't hesitate to do business with them in the future.

I have a 2010 C6 GS and I'm trying to get the most out of my current setup that I possibly can without getting too crazy. I currently have an A/A supercharger and my care is making from my last dyno pull 623rwhp. I don't know what the boost is set at but I will find out when our group puts on a dyno pull day. I want to do more upgrades with the current system but not looking to get into the engine too heavy so here is what I'm looking at.
1. I want to go with 2" longtube with a 3" at the collector headers but I have no idea what my current size is on a stock C6 GS. I've seen some treads say it is 2.5 but if that is the case why are people downsizing to a 1 7/8 header size. I also read that the GS carries the same exhaust size as the ZO6 from the cats back which is 3" don't know how true it is. I would like to keep my current NPP system as I don't like to ride loud all of the time.
2. My next option I would like to do is a meth kit to my setup for safety reasons but I have know clue as to how expensive this can bee to maintain or what will happen to my car if I run out.
3. From their I'm seriously considering a mild cam but don't know what other problems it would cause on a stock engine.
4. The last piece is porting. My neighbor does a lot of work for the local shops and he is quite good at what he does but I'm not all the way sold on head porting. From the cars I've seen, it sounds like they require a lot of vacuum and run kind of high at idle. My car lays down good power but at the same time when sitting at idle it doesn't seem like the rpms are running at 3k.
To all, these are some of my thought please provide your input.

Hi guys, I'm looking @ purchasing an '11 GS M6 Coupe. Car has your V3 Si kit along with full exhaust & is otherwise stock. Current owner said it made right @ 650 bhp on a safe tune. (Not sure on what fuel or what rwhp #'s would be). Was wondering type of power it will max out at. I plan on swapping to a blower cam set up, fuel system & meth kit. What pulley would be needed to be around 750-/+whp? Car will be tuned on pump 93 BTW.

Si-trim maxed out can reach 725 rwhp on Dynojet.
Do cam, fuel system, meth and smallest pulley to get max impeller speed.

Sounds about right. Mine made 560rwhp/500tq with the a&a kit and headers. Can't believe people still try to sell cars using bhp

Yes it will be unless you limit engine rpm to 6200 rpm.

I wouldn't try to make that work. The SC brackets are different and so is the Intercooler. Injectors would also be different. Give me a call at the shop if you have more questions. 805-278-4107

We don't offer handheld tuner devices, but we can supply a base tune in HPTuners format with the purchase of the kit. But we always recommend to have each vehicle tuned in person after kit is installed, even with our base tune.

Josh, I have a stock LS2 with a V3si kit w/ 60 inj , 3.6 pulley, headers, meth, NPP, RPM level VII A4, 3200 converter and rear 3:42's. What do you think my next move should be? I was thinking blower cam??? My goal is 650 rwhp and I'm at 621/572. Do you think my stock fuel system would be enough with the BAP and Alky control? Thanks

I'd think you would possibly need our external fuel system to go with the cam and re-tune. That way you don't start dropping fuel pressure and cook the ring lands out of that LS2.
