    Dual fuel injection setup, bigger tb, the new 2650 blower with 13 pounds of boost, better cooling, 755hp - looks to be begging for modifications Honestly as long as it can be tuned, shouldn't take much to get into the 1000 hp range
    2010 Vette Stock Bottom LS3 - LS2 APS Twin Turbo Kit, Trick Flow Heads and Custom Cam - 12psi - 714rwhp and 820rwtq / 100hp Nitrous Shot starting at 3000 rpms - 948rwhp and 1044rwtq still on 93
    2011 Vette Cam Only Internal Mod in stock LS3 -- YSI @ 18psi - 811rwhp on 93 / 926rwhp on E60 & 1008rwhp with a 50 shot of nitrous all through a 6L80

    I would just be curious as to what ecm they'll be using to control it, If its not E92A still who knows what the next level of security will be.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    A wise man once said "google it"

    That was round a bout what I meant by my "as long as it can be tuned" statement I imagine it won't be easy since they actually made this one to not need modifying...... Either that or it will be like the newer Fords running both fuel systems and hpt will be in it before they're fully on the market

    ford actually embraced the aftermarket by keeping the maf in the 18 mustang, and understands what "we" do with them. GM could give two shits less.

    Wouldn't that be technically a bad thing, since it would have to communicate on the bus and we couldn't get it to work without having access to some other moduels?

    It's a great thing. It means there is potential to add it to other C7s.

    I guess with a full-write OS flash, you think there would be a way to just plug it into the data bus then and go?
