By no means trying to take anything away from the car. Not bashing or complaining. Just wondering. Interested in seeing what tuners say after getting their hands on a few. I dont think bolting on headers and CAI and dropping in a cam is going to find 80 Hp like some other cars.

Does this car need it? Probably not. Just wondering. Most people here are modders. Stock is never enough!
The gt500 is using the 2.3l tvs supercharger now rather than the m112 the previous cars used. This supercharger is capable of pushing more air, more efficiently than the 1.9l version on the LSA. The ls9 comes equipped with the same 2.3l tvs blower and the zr1 has seen upwards of 750rwhp with bolt ons. Justin at vmp has put down more than 800rwhp with their iteration of the 2.3 tvs on the 5.4 gt500s. A tune alone is probably going to do wonders for these cars and wit bolt ons i'd bet money you'll see 700+rwhp.
