Congrats, awseome numbers! :cheers: Seems like one cannot go wrong with Vette Doctors and they seem to be a first class tuner from what I have seen.

The One, The last time the car was dynoed was in August in Carlisle, PA and the best I could muster was 365 RWHP. I was pretty happy with that and that was pre-Vette Doctors and their LS1 Edit tuning. They sure know how to dial in the pony's. :chevy

Re: The Vette Doctors + LS1 Edit = WOW! (STEALTH C-5)
Vettevert,
Yes, I do have factory Z51. Going to the hotchkis bars gave me the biggest 'noticeable' gain between the two mods. The Bilsteins are a great mod as well, but I think that the Hotchkis is the 'bang for buck' out of the two (my opinion). That being said, if you mix the two together, then you get a very noticeable improvement over the stock Z51 setup. My car now feels like what I expected a corvette to 'feel' like from the factory. I'm very happy with my setup.
Stealth C-5,
Yes, the Vette Doctors did some pulls on my car on Saturday morning, so that they would have a base. Carmen told me that he is going to be doing pulls with the Random Tech cats and the straight pipes so he can get an idea of what the setup gains versus the TPIS alone. As soon as all the information is in, I have no problem helping everyone else out on the forum by posting the information!

Stealth, I am getting TPIS put in. Hopefully Carmen will do a pull before cracking open the LS-1 Edit and I can see what the TPIS alone did.
Otherwise the numbers will be mixed.
