Lot of quiet catbacks out there...

Ls3 Maros might put out mediocre stock numbers, but they mod VERY well. Example... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ix-RmGo0my0

I take my car back for an intercooler, smaller pulley, new maf, and some other stuff in about 2 weeks so I'll have better numbers soon
I had 120k on mine when I put the s/c on. Never had an issue. I opted for chemical intercooling because of the cost. I also had l/t headers.

Yeah my tuner was telling me that he would only use meth if he had to and not for a primary cooler. Using the stock pulley and no cooler I think my numbers sound about right. Idk he could have had mods but i hope I can see another ss soon because I'd love to run another one

Something was up, that's for sure. Read through some of the comments and supposedly the Z had a ZR1 trans swap and was having malfunctions between shifts.

Bolt on some large chamber trickflow heads, with Comp Cam BLOWER CAMS, then retune.
Ive seen 4.6's making over 465 HP with that combo.



I hope your shortblock is built though, those pistons in the 4.6 are fragile
