Yep, that's pretty impressive...

I needed long tubes with cats, 3" exhaust, axle back and a CAI with a tune and I'm making right at 545 rwhp and 540 RWT..... on an LS 3 but I'm at 6.5 lbs of boost.

9psi..... scares me but as long as the AFR doesn't get too lean that's pretty damn impressive.

I'm going to do some more research on the matter but I believe I've found my S/C. Unfortunately I can't run LT in Cali due to the emission laws. What CAI do you have? I have Roto-Fab, which I love, but I've read that ADM's is nice as well.

Both of those are nice. don't think you can go wrong with either.

I have a Modded Airaid which I really like. David at Airaid asked me to try it on my car as they don't have a supercharger setup. So I had to do a little fabricatin' to make it work. But I'm VERY happy with the performance.

Most of the proven tuners around here say to keep the AFR at something close to 11.7.

They say that is the best safe way to go for a DD car. Luckily that is right where mine is.

Over 12 is where you are starting to see ring landings blow....

I'll have to keep the AFR in mind then. Thanks for the heads up. Mine was my DD but now it's basically just a weekend warrior.

Have you had to replace your tires yet? I'm about to roll 19K and my rears are just about done.

TC was one of the first things I turned off when I got in the car. Now with my tires not having the grip they once had I leave it on.

Have you at least taken yours to the strip much?

As long as it's closer, it's a guarantee I'll be there. It would have been 7 days worth of driving for me round trip and I couldn't get the time off of work. Speaking of which, I know you can't say, but have you guys decided on the place yet? cough:west coast

I can't say yet. but we are definitely looking to give the western U.S. something to look forward to.

Nothing locked in yet. So I can't honestly say. we have a tentative plan to have a location picked and the terms finalized by the end of the month.

until then we can't say cus it might changes.

still three spots in the running....

I couldn't get time off work. Two other people who had more seniority than me already had vacation scheduled during the weeks I would have needed.
