Default Thanks to RevXtreme

Well I finally did it,I got to see what the Girl was really made of.
I have modified the cold air system myself and had a "Street tune" to it awhile ago from a "Unname company"
She had 46320 miles on her.
I had Tracey cut off my Cats. and put on a C-6 H pipe and removed the mufflers and go with straight pipes with C-6 tips.
A few days ago my "Service Engine" light came on and show a few codes,nothing to worry about,so I waited a few days and took it to RevXtreme to have Tracey clear the codes,He finally twisted my arm,which by the way did not take much to get the car on the dyno and he would fix the other guys tune.
So he did 4 pulls on her and the base pull surprised me.
I had at the wheels 310.77 hp and 334.24 Tq
When it was all said and done the final run was
321.02 hp and 340.28 Tq
Not too bad I thought for a basically stocked C-5,Sorry no video of it.

Working on a video clip,I think it sounds great,not loud while cruising,but when you open her up,she really lets everyone know your coming.

Sounds Grrrrrrreat. Gotta hear it tomorrow in person. I am sure it didn't take much twisting from Tracy to convince you to change the stock pipe out.

Well done Tracy.
