Default Predator and new intake installed !!

Some days ago I installed the predator tune and the k&n intake in my 2007 c6 z51. The result is astonishing !!!!.

The car now feels stronger at low gears, and revs up very quickly. The traction control is much more active than before. May be the main reason is the elimination of the torque management. Now it's a different beast!!

Today I reinstalled the stock tune again (I have to visit the dealer for service), and the car now feels slower and a bit lazy. Fortunately I'll be back to predator tune very soon.

The modification fever goes on !!!

Glad that tune worked out for you, I have a predator tune on mine and while it is better than before, I'll probably go with a professional tune in the near future.

I installed the K&N and Predator on my 2006 Z51 6 Spd and dyno'd at 359 (SAE) at the rear wheels. Surprised me...

You can have your car professionally tuned usuing the predator III.
My appointment is in 2 weeks. they email it to you too so you dont erase it by mistake. It comes with Video of dyno session!
Its unlocked. so you can change it back to stock for service
