I have read the same thing.. I forgot which magazine, something like Tuners Beware. It comes almost at its limit from the factory.

I'm gonna stay skeptical on that for right now personally. I'll wait til they hit the streets and tuners get a hold of them; such as Jim Hall, Lingenfelter, Katech, LG Motorsports, and many others.

Positive displacement blower equipped vehicles always make power from the same places, and those are not H/C or exhaust. GM is flat out BSing in hopes of detering people from modifying their pricey ponies. The intercooler on the LSA that has already made 650rwhp (with 1.9L TVS and single brick IC vs the ZR1 2.3L TVS and dual brick) with a smaller pulley, CAI, and tune--testing was conducted by GM themselves.

i have read this before.....

oh yea it was about 2 years ago when everyone was saying the gt500 could not be modded. rumors abound that ford had made it impossible to put a smaller pulley on the shelby.
