My 2.8 KB Camaro by APF
Just got back from picking up my Camaro from APF. Before I get into what was done I've got to say that John and the guys at APF are outstanding. Their work speaks for itself. My car looked, sounded and drove amazing when they finished with it. OK, here is what I had done:
2.8 Polished KB
LS9 Cam
SPEC 3+ Clutch/Flywheel
Fesler Dual Gauge Pod with AEM Boost and A/F Ratio Gauges
Tuned by John

I don't have the dyno graph image with me right now but I'll add the URL for the dyno run:



When John was finished tuning we got the following numbers:
627 RWHP and 542 RWTQ

Pretty sweet and that LS9 cam is well worth adding.

A few pics of the install progress:

Max boost is set at 8 lbs..No need for a lot of boost with that LS9 cam.

As for the hot wife...well I'll keep those pics to myself

Congrats to you again!
I knew John would take care of you

Only 2 more months and I am heading back to APF for a retune after I get this cam swapped out in mine

Actually on the LS3 the LS9 cam is usually good for about 25-30HP which is about what it's doing here I believe...With the L99 I've read that you see some pretty decent gains, such as the 50-60 rwhp

That's cool. As for the fuel, the issue of running out of fuel never came up...I know its borderline based on Wills post in another thread but not enough for concern. As for the gauges I think we did pick those because of a pic u posted so guilty on being a copycat but u have good taste
