Finally got the AR Headers with x-pipe installed. Without a tune, I got 25 rwhp. Then installed the Trick Flow cam and heads and with a tune my overall was +100 rwhp. Sounds and runs great!

Doesn't look to me that the heads did much for your numbers over the stock LS3 heads.
Solid car nonetheless. I bet it's a blast to drive now!

My ride made it into the most recent Vette Magazine. The cover listed the article "MORE POWER" and the actual article is titled "No Compromise". A couple of pics are in my folder.

Is the car a manual or automatic?

So funny. You are 100% correct. I thought my tires were soooo good and they were for a stock GS but now,,,,,,,,,no way. I really have to be careful and it's not a good feeling. Tires are in the near future!

There's also a video at the end. The only problem is Vette Magazine called it a 2011 GS and it's a 2012. Oh well

GS sounds great, loving the lope. Which cam and heads did you go with?

I would recommend based on your cam specs the Trickflow 255 cc head with 400lb valve spring and the titanium retainers.
