Steen racing was having a dyno day for a local Lightning Club today and I got a chance to throw the 05 up there. The car sits 100% stock right now. Anywho, I was told that most if the 05's that they had dynoed fell between 260-265.

So the time for the Silver Bullett to grace the dyno had come. Once it was maneuvered in placed the first pass yielded 272rwhp. Not bad and I was pleased to say the least with the power. Ed Clark (a major SCT tuner) was there and told me about the charcoal canister that sits in the intake tube and we removed it. On the second pass w/ out the canister my car turned the rollers to 276rwhp. That was a 4hp peak gain and across the power band I picked up as much as 7hp.

I was overjoyed with the results and headed home. On the way I ran into a CTS-V on the highway that had a license plate that said BAD CADI. Anyway, this guy got next to me honked and we hit it. This guy pulled like crazy and hurt my feelings! I knew that car had the Z06 motor in it but never expected it to walk my car the way he did.

That's it for now, hope that you guys agree that I got a strong 05.
