:withstupid: That is a crazy gain. Are they increasing the boost to get that much of a gain? Either way, I want a boosted motor :(

Well the same could be said for anyone with a L67, why doesn't all just pulley down. Most people don't know what's out there for these motors.

Yeah but with an L67 you need a pulley, headers, valvetrain mods, and a tune to get a jump like that.

In terms of hp gains, I could see it but definitely not in terms of tq gains.

Many people don't also realize how conservative most stock tunes are, as parts safety is first and foremost. Especially on forced induction engine.

Sweet Jesus.

It's so fast now.

Merging happens in the blink of an eye. Spins tires at 30 and 60 MPH.

Highway pull pushes you in the seat.

Wow
