UPDATE
Recently picked up the vette from the tuner
John @ Broadview Auto Services in Warrenton, VA
(Very honest man and pricing is great)
He helped me so much with getting this on the road
I'd have to scan the graph, and I know I'll prolly get a lot of crap for saying what it put down, I'll just say, my goal was 440rwhp with this setup. I wanted to be very conservative....
The very first pull with a BAD TIRE (Brand new Mickey Thompson)
488hp & 457ftlb/tq stopped at 6200rpm
Needless to say my mind was blown at that point lol. This pull was done with only tuning on the street so this was more or less a baseline but with a bad tire. The tire vibrated the car so bad they were afraid to dyno it anymore (I don't blame them!)
Soooo..... Some time goes by and jegs honors the warranty on the tire (btw this tire took 7ounces ON ONE SIDE) haha.
Got a spare set of wheels taken too him and the first pull to 6200!
Again in shock!! Haha. I was completely content at this point, but then again it was only being spun to 6200....so.... I said spin it higher!!
Computer is now set at 7k rpm and they did more pulls and fine tuned up top....
Pulls were done on a dynamite dyno and if they're high, oh well, car runs and runs great, and is very fast hahah... I have 28" DR's on it and I could imagine having a 26" tire on it haha (I did and spun at the top of 3rd)
Throttle response is crazy even at 50mph in 5th hahah
Got it home, got my new seat in and harnesses ran (thanks to Mike at TPS!)
Boss got a late model to race in 2014 season!
I was working on my hood!

The ls1 had the broken starter mount & about 125k on the clock. So I wanted to start fresh. I really wanted to have this LS2 stroked and forged for this Twin turbo kit I have. That fell through though.
