Went there with..............
Twin cone filter, Granitelli MAS, Air Bridge, BBK Throttle body, Corsa Indys, X pipe, Hyper-tech.
Stock Ex manifolds and Heads

Made......309.55 RWHP 317.49 Torque

Added Vararam, Z06 Intake, Cam and springs and Dyno-tune

Making.......338.33 RWHP 342.69 Torque

Bottom Line is...Am I Happy? U Betcha
Would I recommend LAPD......... O YEAH

Now I'm not a street racer. But, getting on the 118 frwy from Topanga Cyn. Nobody in front of me. With the Traction on, when she hit 2nd. She went a little sideways Told the Warden, I'm in love again and I think I'll sleep in the garage tonight
