Who has modded theirs?
I went with Kong porting, 2.65 pulley, corsa X pipe, and tuning. Still working on the tune, but so far it is at 800HP at the wheels and 865tq. Had a show we wanted the car for so got a safe stoping point to show the car, then back to get the tuning finished up. What has anyone else done and what did it put down?

I haven't yet BUT I am ready , all I need is a good plan to do it right .
Result I am looking for is more speed and more Noise .Likely not to see the track
I do not want to build a headache that requires additional downtime and maintenance.
- corsa xpipe - done
-gm intake -done
-acrapovic exhaust -done
Any thing I do will be done by my dealer ( we dont have a great speed shop around here )
Im thinking
-ported throttle body
-pulley
-ecm tune (will this cause problems)
-headers
Please chime in

Have the car done except the engine, tires, wheels and interior, just waiting to talk to Kong as they are local to me, thinking it's a winter project with it being almost June, not tracking the car just want it as fast as my others

How does it drive?
Please keep us updated after final tune.

On the factory CAI with stock tube, running 93 octane, not running out of fuel yet (tuner says if we add anything else he would suggest a fuel pump), making 18 PSI, Auto.

Thank you, that's really impressive. I have a 2.9 pulley right now but have to run 91. I wonder if I can get away with a 2.65 pulley. I'm trying to push the 91 as far as I can and then when DSX gets flex fuel figured out I can also do e85.

ZR1’s response crazy to simple mods.
Can you post up a dyno graph.
#14
I would not go any smaller on the upper with 91 octane. These cars already make a lot of boost right out of the gate. More than LSA, LS9, and LT4 make from the factory. Combine that with 91 octane, I would limit how much boost you are adding unless you are using a fuel additive or meth to get more octane.

We are working on our own 5" carbon fiber intake. More info on that soon ! Glad to hear our CNC ported LT5 is working well for you so far!
#16
Soon as you get that intake done, I am interested!!!! Then we will do the fuel pump and a few other things we have looked at.
