Default A&A kit experience

Took my car to Complete Street Performance out in West Chester, PA after I was talked into going with an A&A kit instead of doing head work. My car used to be owned by the owner of the shop, AndrewZPSU on here and was quite stout cam only but I wanted more.

Not only was the turn around stupid fast (I wanted the car back for a cruise) but it made some great numbers. I was hoping for around 650rwhp... we ended at 695rwhp and 591rwtq. This was up from 501rwhp with nothing other than the kit installed with a 3.8" pulley and the V3 Si head unit. I drove the car on the cruise the following day without any issues at all the whole trip and still no issues to be spoken of. The car drives exactly the same as when it was cam and bolt ons except she pulls a whole lot harder when WOT.

I've known Andrew for years and he took care of the SD tune on my GTO and I've had yet another great experience with him. We are now talking about taking care of the clutch as the stock LS7 with over 90k miles is finally starting to call it quits and looking into upgrading the fuel system as I already have a 3.4" pulley I am awaiting to put on.

Car is a 2008 Base Coupe. Headers, cam and A&A kit running only 93 octane. First time at the drag strip with it... or any car for that matter, I ran 11.3 at 137mph on street tires and a 2.1 60'. Looking forward to what she will do with some traction!

That's awesome on a stock bottom with a cam. no meth? I'm planning on going the A&A route in spring if I don't get a ctsv coupe.

Running 93 octane pump gas hitting a peak of 9 lbs of boost at 6800 rpms. She's also running the "SpinMonster" camshaft, Kooks 1-7/8" Headers Coated with no cats, our ported intake manifold and throttle body, resized LS3 injectors, and a Z06 exhaust.

We're debating which route to take, either using meth and bumping the boost up, or switching to E85/flex fuel and doing the same. In either case, she's going to be pretty awesome.

Once he gets his clutch and some driving skills I bet we'll see some low 10 second runs from her at 140+ mph.




Secretly (I guess not secret anymore lol), I wish I never sold this car. But its really nice to see a friend and customer completing the original plan for this beast.



We are currently offering an LS1, LS2 and LS3 Corvette special - $5600 for the base A&A Supercharger Kit installed, dyno AND street tuned.
(C6Z and Z51 need a radiator upgrade)
