Again not trying to criticize. The only work you did was intake and exhaust with a tune, so from what you're saying, your stock LS1 made about 403bhp on the dyno before those mods? That's about 58 more than what they're rated. That's what has me, and I imagine others, confused. BTW, one of the several Vettes I've owned was an 03 ZO6 with a built motor, so I'm familiar with the numbers.
Regardless, GLWS, I miss my Z.

Ok, let me try and clear this up. I didn't say my car made 403bhp before any mods only before adding the headers and x pipe. I made my own custom cold air intake, ported the MAF, ported the throttlebody, modified the stock mufflers and now that I recall gutted the cats. All that was done before the dyno was done. 343RWHP is what it made with those mods. Later on I added LT headers and a 3 inch X pipe. I also re-tuned the car using HP Tuners. It hasn't been been on a dyno since those changes were made. Hope that helps!

Only 20 months away from officially being a classic! Buy an appreciating asset and have fun driving it as it increases in value!

I had really hoped that video would share the sound of the engine, the shifts, etc., but instead we got hair band rock with some gauges moving. Bummed! A walkaround video of the car, a startup, a moderate acceleration with no radio, would all do wonders to help as the car seems to be priced right!

Here's a video with startup, idle and a couple of revs of my car. Was shot with my phone so quality isn't the best. Will be adding other videos as time permits.

Here's a walk around video or the exterior. Please note that there are imperfections in the paint such as minor rock chips, scratches and other paint imperfections that can't be seen in the video. This is not a "new" paint job. This is the original paint that I spent over 40 hours wet sanding and buffing.
The car is Torch Red. For some reason at different angles in the video it appears orange. The original video doesn't. Only after uploading to YouTube.

Here's a video with the windows down and the car accelerating. Inside the car isn't that loud. It's all out back where it belongs for everyone else to enjoy.
