Default CPR built Z making some noise!

We just finished up Jason's C7 Z that he brought to us from El Paso, TX. The car came to us with an AFE intake and a tune from another shop that left a lot to be desired in terms of drivability.

Baseline dyno video: 569 rwhp 578 rwtq.


We then added one of our custom grind cam's (mid 220 intake duration) longtube headers, alky control meth kit, heat exchanger upgrade, 2.14 pulley

Driving/idle video:

Dyno:
670 rwhp 654 rwtq


This w/ our 91 octane gas and meth, along w/ crazy 104 degree outside air temps! The car drives 100% like a stock vehicle and since it has a smaller cam you get awesome low/mid range grunt that bigger cam's lose. We really don't favor big cam's on any pd blower car to be honest.

Foe me, Mid 220 05 intake duration is a large size cam, especially for a blown car.
