Default Kelley Performance is the place!!!

Well, thanks to my nine buddies (BillyD, PierreC5, Pete, FAST, Vinny, Gene, Walt, Sunny and Steve) who came to watch as Brian at Kelley Performance worked his LS1 Edit "magic" on my beloved Tripleblack today.
You guys sure added to the fun!

GaryZ06, good talking with you too.

My car dynoed at 316.78 RWHP and 329.23 RWT baseline.
Brian commented that it was running very smoothly and my A/F mixture was good.

After several dyno runs and tweaks, Brian leaned my car out, defeated CAGS and raised my rev limiter to 6400.
My fan will also come on sooner to help the car run cooler.

Ok, here's the really good stuff..my readings went to
335.02 RWHP and 343.19 RWT.
That's an increase of 18.24 RWHP and 13.96 RWTorque.
The car pulls very smoothly all across from low to high end!
I could definitely feel the SOTP difference on the drive home!

Brian you are a master at your craft. Thanks! :cheers:
By the way, your hardtop sounds awesome, but I'm not doing a heads and cam...no matter what you and MiamiDave say! :D

Thanks also to Diane for coming out. You certainly made us feel welcome. You guys have brought us vette lovers in South Florida what we have sorely needed for long time....a place that we can feel good about bringing our cars to! :yesnod:

A bit more of a drive for me now, but my mechanic, Angel works there too.

Great day...

Here's to you guys.. :cheers:

Pedro

It was great to see you Pedro!! Your car responded beautifully to the programming and is making some great power!!

Both Angel and I will have to work on you some more about those heads and cam though!!! :)

Yes, he's going and I'm really going to try and make it there. I have to go to Daytona Beach, and will probably showup in the truck :sad: and not my 'vette!

Still have to get the KPC boys to sign my valve covers, but we should be there!

Pedro, awesome numbers, and what a sweet improvment! It's funny, some people pay $500 for an airfilter just to see 1/2 of those gains!!
:lol:
