Just got her back from the tuner, happy with the results
Hey all. At the beginning of the good weather I went to a dyno day to get a starting number on my car. That thread is here:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...e-results.html
Car did 355rwhp which was way higher than I thought it should be with just a CAI (with stock bridge), cat back bassani exhaust, and diablosport ls1 tune. Some people thought maybe it had a cam as well, as the heads are 241.
Since then I've added a V ram power bridge, NW throttle body, FAST 92mm intake, Kooks headers and Kooks Xpipe. Once I added the headers, all of a sudden, I could hear what sounded like a cam. I had Dr Phil(genius) tune the car, and he confirmed that it for sure has some sort of cam in it, mild as it may be, as without it the car shouldn't have made this much power. I'm super happy with the result.

Apparently whatever cam I have makes a few extra ponies. I just wish I knew what it was, lol. I know I couldn't hear it with the stock exhaust and just the cat back, but with the headers and X pipe its clear as day.

Phils awesome! Dudes a genius.
He programmed my 1-4 shift light to be a real shift light, I never even thought of that, lol.
Now I'm going to change the LED behind it so its brighter to see when putting the hammer down.

That's a mild sounding cam for sure.

Sounds nice, 2_hotty! Thanks for sharing the clip. Definitely can hear the cam. Sounds like a good streetable cam that still gives you a nice performance increase.
