they do it for several reasons.

1. aftermarket industry would cry bloody murder if they maxed out the LSx engine from the factory.
2. it would be more expensive.
3. it would be very dangerous if every corvette driver had 700whp
4. gas mileage.

And probably the number one reason is sound...they have to legally stay under a certain decibel.

What? Gaining power from mods? Such a new concept! lol

Bet it sounds great dude, congrats.

Ahh...I remember the sound of the LS1 with SLP long tube headers and magnaflow cat back. So sexy lol

It was a sad time when she left.

Looks like a giant metal spider died in your garage, you'll want to throw that out. I hate spiders. I got bite at Gil's old house while working on his car.

Damn Lost Angel those are hot! What is your car putting out currently?
With those you should get a nice kick in the pants from mid to high end WOT runs.

Your C6 is coming together nicely, keep it up.

Not sure what it's currently putting down...but say I didn't have my tune, ram air intake....just the headers...

436 stock HP + 30 HP = 466HP
424 lb-ft + 45 lb-ft = 469 lb-ft

I think you'd like it...but be warned...you will miss your RX8. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of Victoria...yes I named my RX8...

Just something about it...can't put my finger on it...when I got into my RX8...I felt like it was a part of me.
