Not only would I agree with the above quote -- I assure you that after the DYNO pulls we can TUNE your Vette for increased power. And, I will go one step further -- If you are not happy with the tune -- DON'T pay for it. Unless you have some mechanical issues -- we can get you back on the road. PLEASE call me direct.

Hey what's up bro! Never seen you post on here before. Ask 21st Century for a copy of the dyno chart for us to see, those torque figures seem way low. Also, you may want to invest in some LG LT headers.

Stewart , it is very possible that the 430/328 # is correct. Its kinda hard sometimes to get a decent pull on an A4 car without it downshifting. Although, torque does seem a little low for that HP level. Bring her in and let me get the car on the dyno and evaluate your situation.

Hello Stewart11,

Sorry Sir but I am not fully understanding your posts, I have looked thru our computer for original invoices and on the dyno computer but cannot find your name or car/mod description in our 7 1/2 years of archived files but will be glad to look further if you can give me some more information on the car or the persons name the invoice that the work would have been in.

I need some more information as I am not sure what you are referring to as a "bypass tube " nor do we sell B&B "short headers" We carry the LG PRO and Street, Dynatech, Kooks and American Racing long tube headers
We also have never sold a 24 or 2400 stall converter (the Yank 2800 is the smallest we have sold) and unfortunately I cannot tell what cam you have from your description. The range of the specs for your camshaft could vary widely on what is offered in the market for LS1/LS6 engines although we normally install the 21CMC GT-16 or the Lingenfelter GT-2-3 Camshaft in our Heads & Cam Packages

Our standard 21CMC/Lingenfelter Heads & Cam Package with our standard 224/228 camshaft will make 410+ RWHP and 390+ RWTQ.
With the addition of a torque converter, the RWTQ and RWHP would be real close to the same for that application.

I expect the car also may have some sort of mechanical issue if you are indeed experiencing the kind of power loss you mentioned.
No need to spend the $39. on dyno pulls as if the work was done here there would not be a charge for the dyno or inspecting the tune.

We also offer a satisfaction guarantee on our tunes as the other opportunistic tuner has mentioned and we will also make it right if you are experiencing a issue related to a tune that we in fact have done here at our shop.

I will be glad to try and help you further if you want to bring the car by our shop, I think you may have some incorrect information on the mods installed on the car, the #'s the car is making and or where the work was performed but I bet we can get it sorted out for you.

Let me know, we will be glad to take a look and get you back on the road...........

WOW $39 is a nice price for 3 pulls. Sorry to jack your thread but is there anywhere in South/Central Florida.


BTW get some LT headers and your Torque number is probably suppose to have another 100 added to it. Seems very low!!

Nice motor though

That's what the LS3 is rated at the crank.

Something is fishy my friend.



NO stock C6 (non Z0 of course) could keep up with a car with 430 RWHP
