| September 14, 2009 The
reawakening. One year and nine days after popping the motor, the new
setup lives completely. I was SHOCKED when Joe Donovan of
Performance by Joe in St. Louis told me what the car made. A
whopping 760 RWHP 761 RWTQ in a stock sounding, stock driving, ego
bruising sleeper. Am I happy?? Hell yes I am. Still on
the APS turbo's, but with a 377 forged shortblock, heads/cam, and 14# of
boost this time. |

The Twin Turbo is FINALLY complete. Final numbers of 500 RWHP and
521 RWTQ were on 8# of boost. Remember this is a minimally modded
car and NOT an LS6 motor, thus the substantially lower numbers. I
LOVE the smooth linear powerband and low peak. This will make for a
wonderfully fun car to drive. Thanks to Don Kinder A.K.A. Slowhawk
for the wonderful 2 Bar SD Tune. |

Bolt on's completed, above is the before and after tuning
results. I don't like the dip at 5200 RPM, and don't like one aspect
of how the tune was accomplished, but I'm pretty satisfied. I was
hoping to see 350 RWHP, but we can't have it all now, can we? Mod
list was LG Pro headers, Corsa Indy exhaust, no cats, LS6 intake manifold,
Callaway Honker intake, 160* T-Stat, NGK TR55 plugs, Magnacore wires. |

Baseline dyno for the car done at Philly Dyno Works. Car is 100%
stock mechanically down to the plugs, wires, O2's, and air filter.
Rear wheels weigh approx 8lb more each than the stockers. Not too
shabby, room for improvement though. |
