It all started with a air intake then the mod bug bit me hard
LS2 402, Patriot heads, Cam, Cartek clutch, Mezzier water pump, Kooks LT, 3,73 gears with Harden shaft, DTE brace, z06ti exhaust, 3 " pipe with bullet cats and X pipe. ported TB ls6 intake. And yes the first mod a Votex intake.
I Think i was able to shake the bug for a while but we will see
