That's usually where everyone gets the big gains over the lower stock pressures (8-9psi) is to up the boost. Think this would even be able to handle any more boost than they have already given it stock? (I'll brace myself for all the forged internals comments)

The modded ZL1's seem to be getting better performance numbers once they are up'd to the same power levels as the stock GT500. Everyone always talks about well then the GT500 will just be modded and be faster. I'm just not that sure that the typical bolt-ons would have any effect on this car Maybe I'm just being naive.....
I had the same thought. Seems built pretty close to the limit to me. I may be wrong but there doesn't seem like a lot of room for pump gas exploring. CAI and a mild tune might be all she wrote.

With that being said, an extra 15-30 Hp will be far more than anyone will EVER need.
