Again, folks, these "power" ratings are NOT "as-installed in a Camaro", and that's where some of their "optimism" comes from...

Getting 100 honest net extra hp from a relatively mild cam (.525" lift) and non-CNC'd heads (L92's are NOT the be-all and end-all of LS cylinder heads!), "as installed" with exhaust (regardless of whose you have) and emissions compliance and a streetable tune is a very TALL order to deliver... Remember, ASA runs "spec" fuel, NOT the stuff you'll find in CA., where emissions and tune are two words you can't avoid.

For liability's sake, as well as day-to-day practicalities, GMPP states "for off-highway usage"...

I repeat, this is NOT a street-legal alternative to an LS7 for us...

A hell of a choice for your "non-emissions necessary" hotrod, though!
