dyno results
Two weeks ago i purchased an 05 z51 m6 and last week me and my friend Tyler installed a vararam intake ,dynatech headers and x-pipe with cats and b&b bullet exhaust and drove it for a week before i could get a ported intake and tune by Jeremy Formato which i had done Saturday. The dyno results were 382rwhp and 379 torque and that was in the middle of the day in the Fla heat on an outside dyno. The car is blast to drive, especially after the tune, the car has great throttle response and low end torque and rowing through the gears is the most fun I've had with my pants on since my supercharged 4th gen. If anyone is in the Fla area i would highly recommend Jeremy for a tune and ported intake.

nice numbers man. I`m sure you will enjoy!
The only thing I have to say about Jeremy is he must be really busy. I spoke to him on wed about ordering an intake. I said I would call back to verify thursday. Called 3 times thursday, left 2 messages. No return call. Called twice friday. Same result no returned call. He seemed like a nice guy, but 2 days of no returned calls makes me doubt his customer service. I always call my customers back w/ in 2 hours , no matter how busy I am. We are talking 2 days.
At this point I will be doing it myself, the porting that is. I have found a DIY thread w/ what area`s that need to be worked. I have a lot of experience w/ engines previous to LSx`s (LT1`s, SBC`s, Pontiac`s) and definetly have the car knowledge to get it done. Sure Jeremy might find 3-4 more hp than me, but hey mine will be free not 300.00....

Nah, the lady I spoke to on a couple of the calls said he was with another customer. No problem there, I`ve had to do that too. The big but, is that you do actually call someone back in a timely manner..Lol... No hard feelings towards the guy, like I said he seemed nice on wed. He did work sat apparently since the guy in this thread got tuned sat.
I will take pics of the porting and let you guys know what kind of flashing ect.. I find in there. I`m off next wed and will probably do it then.

we dynoed the car shortly after i got there and it put down like 355 hp but that was after driving to get there for two hours and then he did a quick tune and it put down 367 hp and then he swapped out intakes which took about an hour with me telling him stories and then he did another pull and it put down 377 hp i think, and then he tweaked it more until i got the final numbers that you see in the first thread, and i had to go out of town this week but ill go to the track next wed and i'll be sure to post the numbers
