Default 521 whp with ZERO Boost

Hello All,

Just got my car back from the shop and these are my numbers. Went with the Z06 rear conversion to plant down the power on 345 Invos. Heads, Cam, Headers, Exhaust, Intake. That's about it. Want to thank the guys at Virginia Speed.

I will post the video of the run shortly.


On a side note: I'm running DTE 3.90 gears. So my power would of been more if I had the stock gears.

Zeus

Razor,

I wanted to "boost" the car but I already have a "boosted" car. So I just went with all motor. The people at Virginia Speed can chime in on all the engine details.

Thanks,

Zeus

cool, on the surging I meant down low lugging around town depending on your tune and cam size which I am assuming is pretty big you the car won't run smooth off idle. I wondered if it was smooth below 1700

Horsepower made a big jump, not so much on the torque side. I would have thought the torque would be higher than that. Be a fun car to drive though, for sure.

Hopefully VA Speed will chime in and give the specs of the cam. I know my tuner (Ed) is in NJ tunning a couple of cars.

That would be great, thanks. I understand if he does not want to reveal all specs. I'm just mostly interested in the intake / exh duration.
