But this was the Question

"thats what i mean i dont want to spend an extra $10,000 plus the hit ill take on selling my car probably another $7000 and they say it will make 550 hp but i dont think thats rwhp so i think my best bet is to upgrade what i have for half the money "

nothing about money in that.

Eazy wait till the 2012 ZL1 come out and BUY ONE.

This way you get to keep the warnenty for 100,000 miles.

and i ask again do you know what the zl1 makes to the wheels thay say it will make 550 hp but i think thats to the flywheel so that would only be around 450 to 475 to the wheels

The ZL1 will make 490-520 rwhp. This according to a stock CTS-V owner with LSA motor.

Why does every one always say get a Maggie and a smaller pulley? So the stock pulley that is warrentable is not going to get you the power? I think people should look at the new LYSHOLM 2.3L as it seems to come out of the box with a pulley that get you close unless you want to pulley down with headers. Worth a look and I bet they have better efficiency due to the twin screws over the roots.

My SS makes 546/rwhp and 522/rwtq with Edelbrock E-Force S/C. See sig for mods.

Kenne Bell

Our Kennebell kit out of the box on 93 octane will get you the 550RWHP plus leave enough on the table for later. You do not need cams, headers or CAK to get it either. Just what is in the box!

And you get the fringe benefit that Mike fails to mention...either option
a) Permagrin; or
b) school girl giggles.

The Kenne Bell is unbelievable
