On the other hand with these shortcomings and knowing that dyno numbers for the L99 are 50 or more rwhp shy of the LS3, its makes one wonder why its not running significantly slower in the ¼. This tells me the Auto and its gearing have some significant advantages even in its unturned state. It would seem logical to assume that bringing the L99 up to LS3 power standards should give it real advantage to the LS3 M6 combo in the ¼. Tuning the Auto programming and torque management should provide an addition al edge as well. The VVT cam options coming to the market should provide for some broader powerbands then one might otherwise see in a "streatable" LS3 cam combination. On paper things still seem promising. I’ll be watching tuners results to see if this theory holds true. If so, the initial disappoint I see as well as many others, I hope will be pleasantly reversed to one of excitement.

That's Funny, my 05 GTO ran great, the Camaro is very slow!
