Default 2004 Z06 update 429 rwhp

Hello

I just installed a set of 3.90 gear and LG's Pro LT Headers and got a 30hp increase.

So now my mods are Vortex Ram Air, Halltech Air Bridge, 170 Thermostat, LG G5x3 Cam w/114, ASP Pulley, Comp 921 Springs, LG Pro LT Headers, & 3.90 Rear end gears w/DTE Brace. :eek:




Now I need to learn to drive the new found power. Best I could get at the XTREME Corvette Shootout was 12.16 @ 119.9 mph w/2.014 60' on Nitto 275/45/17 DR's:steering:

Awesome set up! Keep us posted on your track times. The gears will take some time to get used to on the track but will make a nice difference.

Congrats, on the new found power... that trap speed indicates there are lower ET's in your future.

You really need to ask LG that questions as I had everything done at once so I don't know just the gears price.
