With the mechanical work wrapped up in the shop by John, Matt strapped her down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom calibration via HP Tuners. With the LT4 TVS1740 supercharger delivering only 8.5psi, Vlad increased the LT1’s output to 673.55whp & 677.01lbft on 93 octane! Next steps are a ported supercharger, 103mm throttle body, upper & lower pulleys, and 5″ intake will net this 6th Gen gobs more power!
