stock boost on that system is like 10-11#s. The tune that comes with it is supposed to run rich and have heat issues (like all F/I), so if hes got headers, throttle body, exhaust, manifold, etc to lean out the tune and has the intercooler upgrade he could be doing well over 525 rwhp. I would say most with just the base system are making like 425-450. Im basing my numbers off the GTO numbers for the LS1. And yeah they are friggen ugly hanging off the exhaust, cant wait to hear about someone bottoming out or catching it on an incline.

_Natchez_ ~ I meet this guy on Friday at the hobby shop here on base, he said he was boosting only 5lbs as of friday but had an appointment at millenium for a tune (maybe dyno tune), he stated that when he took it to DYNOTUNE it came out running worst than it went in. He siad the car ran a mid 13 @110mph. Car sounds good thought on acceleration.

all that dough for 420rwhp on an LS1...

a cam, lid, TB and some longtubes would probably get you close to that...

we had one come through our dyno on friday. 5psi laid down numbers higher than stock but a/f's were in the 14-15 range under boost.

he said he was boosting only 5lbs as of friday but had an appointment at millenium for a tune (maybe dyno tune), he stated that when he took it to DYNOTUNE it came out running worst than it went in
there was nothing to tune with. no FPR, no piggy back. the customer said it was a rom tuned ecu.

Bingo. I can almost guarantee that I'm in the 110MPH trap range and all I have is a lid, and exhaust

I find it hard to be believe that a near stock GT ran with an LS1 that traps 110.

He runs around with me and my buddies sometimes and he's also on my ship. I've got a real bad memory but I'm pretty sure his name is Justin. He finally got the thing retuned so its putting down some decent numbers now (I think around 400rwhp with injectors maxed out). He had it tuned by DTP at first but they totally fucked it up and the car ran like shit. I raced him once on the highway coming back from Newport News and just walked away. Now that its running right I'd like to see the outcome.
