Damn you Steve! Just when I was getting over my obsession with vettes and "settling" for slapping a SC on the Z. When I get back in the country I'm going to have to drive one and see what's what. I wish the grand sport was cheaper...

Any pictures of this imaginary vette yet Steve?

Mid/high 40's isn't bad for what you're getting.

Come sep/aug they will be throwing the 2011s away to make room for the 2012s and you will be able to pick up a GS pretty cheap (around 9K off MSRP). I just couldnt wait till then but still got a great deal on a 2010 they wanted off their lot.

The vette is smooth and powerful. A tune, exhaust, and a port and polish and you have another 50+ hp and tq. Add a cam and you are at the Z06 power level.

Do they still make Crane Cams? Back in the day, that was THE cam to put in a V8 (although that day was a long time ago, when cars were pulled by horses and bathrooms resembled small sheds).

Havent seen that name in the forums but it seems like cams give some damn good hp gains but come with some surging at lower rpms.

My friend's LS2 with a cam/LT's/catback and a CAI made 415whp. He then changed intakes to an LSX and made 431. It was a 6-speed GTO, and at 1100rpm in 1st gear was free of cam-surge.

Right now, check out LG motorsports, TSP,
and KaTech.

Also, you can supercharge the car for around $6-8K including tune/install.

You sure picked the right car for speed. Also reliable forced-induction suppliers, etc. who don't have 100+ page threads bashing their underperforming product that still runs high 12's
