With the mechanical work wrapped up in the shop by Dylan, John strapped her down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom calibration via HP Tuners. With 93 octane in the tank, and the Vortech V3 Si delivering ~8psi, Vlad increased the LS1’s output to a solid 469.28whp & 466.47lbft — a gain of over 145hp & 130lbft!
