2008 Z51 with NPP - K&N intake - LG Motorsports Pro Long Tube headers - LG Motorsports G7X4 cam - underdrive pulley - 160 degree thermostat - dyno tune: 501 HP and 450 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels.

K&N bridge and filter, same 91/Torco mix and more tuning-415 RWHP

Add Dynotech 1 &7/8s long tubes with HiFlow cats & Borla Touring, up Torco mix to 12 gallons of 91 mixed with one quart of Torco (95+ octane), and swap out to VR intake. Then do extensive tuning, got us in 448 RWHP HOT.

We let it cool about 20 minutes, and made one more pull-455 RWHP

Dyno Jet sae #'s NO 119 trap equal 455rwhp NO
Go get some real Dyno Jet niumbers, just doesn't add up SORRY!
I ve been on TWO dyno's that show Z06 450 rwhp
ls-3 with Vararam and headers 420-430 plus other dynos LG etc
show 1 7/8 doing less! Drive here get on a Dyno here and if you make
even 450 I'll pay for your trip and eat the crow!

No it don't! How come the Z makes more and only 450 on two Dyno's an ls-3 makes 420-430
And Then an ls-3 with headers is making 455.........................
Who cares about altitude when I saw this at the same places!
Same machines plus the Z does take less power to move!

It's not bad at all. The power is well worth the slight shaking and increased noise. (It's VERY loud) It idles at 1100 RPM and you really can't drive it below 1,500 RPM. Other than that, it drives just like stock. Wonderful power... once you feel it, you will forgive any faults it has!
