Exactly, look at the entire powerband gains

I'm not sure how much it matters, but I did see that my average hp/tq had increased 12 and 13 respectively according to the graph. It would appear that most of the gains are attributed from the increases btwn 2500-5500 rpm

Hell I hadn't even thought of that! I'm wondering what it'll do when it's 50 degrees out?

They are, however another 2010 ls3 with the EXACT same mods, minus the wedge of course, on the same dyno put down 495 when it was 55 degrees out so

Nick at Lethal told me that the last few months they've been seeing 478-482hp cars with the rise in temps rather than the high 480s low 490s they typically see October-February.

I wish I was able to go there, but I'm staying home with my 2 month old. I'd love to try and work up a combo deal for this and a VR Intake for my LS3... Maybe you can send it home with my D5GCC Peeps...
