The K/B canned tune may have slightly higher degree of timing than mine. I don't know that for sure though. Would have to ask Adam about that. Adam did tell me that increasing timing definitely increases torque. I do know that my AFR is more rich than the K/B canned tune. And leaner engines make a bit more power.

I also noticed that if you scroll down on their site, they also say that the L99 makes 45 rwhp less than the LS3. I read that before I even bought my kit and I couldn't understand which number was the correct one: 33 or 45 rwhp less -- or maybe they both apply but for different runs or different setups.

Anyway, there aren't too many L99's running around with blowers, in comparison to the amount of LS3 cars that are out there.

On 8 psi, L99's seem to make high 400's and maybe, maybe break 500 rwhp on a good day, with exhaust, and probably headers.

Plus, my tune isn't very aggressive. And I'm happy about that. I'm sure we could squeeze another 15 rwhp out of my car on a cool weather day by increasing timing. Adam said that torque would go up if he did that.

Hope this answer helps.

Yea I don't think they actually tested it for L99, It's probably a educated guess.

I'm with ya on saving tires though


Did you keep the AFM?
If yes does does it act any different than stock?

We actually used Adam's L99 to do our testing. It was using our tune though.

My tune no longer has the AFM. And I'm glad. That drone was killing me.

Thank you, Sir. I appreciate it. I really hope your G8 gets to have a K/B too very soon. You will then be in the 10 second club.

Thank you, Will. I definitely am enjoying it. I love the low end power that it has. And overall, it just seems like such a high quality supercharger. Big Props to K/B.

I'm sure your L99 will put down great numbers. I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Have a great day.
