I didn't get a baseline stock but the tuner said 365-370 rear wheel hp was typical.

Baseline run with stock exhaust, CAI cold air intake and BBK 95mm throttle body. 392hp and 388 ft/lbs torque.

That sounds sweet, real SWEEEEEEEEET[dr[dr[dr

 

[dmw56]

Thanks Bruno. Driving it home you could feel the increase in power. Its a beast above 3000 rpm. But I do miss the low end of the old 454.
I think 3.91s are in the future. Right now it turns 1800rpm at 70mph in 6th gear.

swing an LSA blower, ZL1 lid and an LS9 cam in there and it should add 160 ponies to it...[cl

 

[dmw56]

Little steps at a time. Yeah there will probably be a blower in the future. I got to get used to it as it is. Fastest car I've ever driven. No take that back... Owned. I've driven my brother in laws Z06 blown with 636 rwhp. Scary very scary.

I installed a blower on an 08 Z06...something about rolling 60 mph burn outs with 325/30/19's that just makes you giggle![cl

I was just offered a smokin hot deal on a LSA blower kit, installation and tune. Too good to pass up. [dr[dr[dr

 

[dmw56]

The cold air set up looks great under the hood....as do the rest of the mods...limited at 155....how long will that last?? LOL..

Well the tuner deleted the 155mph limit. Set it to 312 mph because he likes that number! [cl

The blower unit is a reconditioned recalled unit with upgrades. GM recalled the first couple years of ZL1 blowers and instead of doing the upgrade they installed new blowers. They told the dealers to trash the old ones. A company ADM put together a deal and got the removed one for next to nothing. They rebuilt them and put together the conversion kits. The whole kit cost me $4000 at cost. I'm getting it installed and retuned for free. [cl
