08' headers and tune
I recently took my relatively stock 6 speed 08' coupe with Z51 option to Lashway Motorsports in Pompano Beach, FL. for installation of Kooks headers with 1 7/8" primaries, 3" cat free X pipe and a K&N airbox. I already had 3" Corsa Extreme catback exhaust on it and wanted to complete the 3" system and gain a little power.
The baseline dyno produced 403 rwhp and after the installation and tune the car produced 439 rwhp and 419 rwtq. I'm very happy with the results.
Erik and Josh at Lashway Motorsports are good people, they did a first rate job and treated me like a friend instead of a customer. I drove about 160 miles each way to get there so I hung around the shop the whole time and watched, I was impressed with their attention to detail and desire to do a quality job. Josh spent many hours on the tune, he adjusted until he knew it was perfect and I can tell a difference in the performance, the throttle response is crisper and I even gained a little better mileage on the return trip.
As a side note Lashway Motorsports is co-located with Superior Automotive Design. I was blown away by the vinyl wraps and other mods Kris does.
Check out both the Lashway and Superior websites, if nothing else it's good eye candy and might give you some ideas for the future.
