Default Dropped my C6 Z06 off to Joe at CPR

Dropped my car off to Joe at Cordes Performance on Thursday for a cam, head fix, headers, cold air intake and a tune. My experience with Joe has been great. From the first time I walked into his shop, he made me feel like I was an existing customer. He listened to my needs and made every effort help me make my decision. In the few times I've visited Joe, one thing I noticed was he had return customers in for additional work. In my experience, that speaks to great custome service. I can't wait to drive it with the mods!

Hey Mike,
I decided on the Katech Torquer 116. Wanted a little power but with stock like manners.

Will do. This is the first Torquer 116 Joe has installed so we are both curious as to the final numbers....

Can you post your build, beside the Torquer 116? Did (will you) get a baseline dyno of before (stock?)? Joe will be doing my HCI build in about a month.

I'm putting a set of forged pistons in it, but plan on keeping all the other internals. I might also bump the compression up a tad more with the K501

Didn't get a before baseline dyno. Total work is WCCH stage two head work, AR headers with hi flow cats, Airaid CAI and the Katech Torquer 116 cam. Really looking forward to taking it for a drive after all the work is done.

Mine will be there a week later. I imagine NicD will tune it? What valves/springs will you use on the K501?

Yep, Nic will need to update the tune as I'll also be installing my Mamo MSD intake as well. I use the PSI 1511 spring package as spec'd by Katech
