Will let you all know how it goes. The guys here are great, you could not ask for better customer service. I will be here most of the day during the install, will let you all know how she performs on the 6 hour drive home tonight!

Interested in the results of this upgrade also.
As for cam'd sound. I wonder if some enterprising soul could manipulate VVT to get that lumpy sweet sound. Probably would be crap on emissions, but with all the cold up north, a little global warming would be a nice thing

I drove her home last night (through Atlanta during the evening rush hour
) then home to Mobile, so 6.5 hours...a lot more pep, "throatier" sound...Pre-install
401.63 Max Power and 405.93 Max Torque
after install
445.53 Max Power and 449.69 Max Torque
I will post graph later
I had the plesure of a ride in the 1000hp C7....
...that is one fun machine......I am in deep lust Vengeance Racing is a 1st class establishment...shop was clean, staff was professional and yet I had a great time cutting up with the boys...love their mascot for their 1000hp C7

Nice gains...the ride in the 1000hp car had to have been a nice bonus.

Did you get the Halltech or the Green Air Filter?
I've been looking at the Green Filters and thinking of getting one. Someone told me that you'll get a few more HP's, but it doesn't filter air very well.

Did they suggest one over the other? What made you go with Halltech?

It is lower you can see the difference in the red, white and blue thread I posted. Not sure how they lowered it. It hugs the road a little better.
