To spend 10 grand on a s/c when you can accoplish more hp with a moderate head/cam combo is laughable ...

Especially since they probably dyno'd it on the race related dyno if he had the work done there, because that dyno is reknown to exaggerate #'s.

He needs to do a head/cam, and exhaust the stock ls1 is engineered to get the most ot of its stock setup. It will not take advantage of a SC with out at least a cam change it wasnt desinged for that it was desinged fer N/A.

First of all that gentleman who owns the C5 is very happy with it last we spoke.He got an intercooled vorthech kit installed,a B&B tri-flo all stainless very pricey exhaust system installed,cobalt gauges installed installed,42 lb. inj. installed,high pressure pumps installed, Jeremy from Formato Fasterproms came over and tuned it to his liking.Not exactly overcharged for 10K.The car came in w/ a second gear synchro grinding and somehow his friend blames us for it on TR.Anyhow and on to the exaggerated numbers BS.We for the longest time displayed STD not SAE correction.This is where the supposed exagerration is coming into play.Secret Services,Tune tech,Ramsey's,Ford Speed's,and Ourageuos Performance(out of Charlotte) all sample within ten horse of one another.So get your facts straight before you publically degrade people or their equipment.
