    Wait till you try and launch the Gen5, there is a long learning curve.

    Agree youll find out real quick it takes a lot more RPMS to get it out hard. A little extra motivation if you will

    A pain to drive from a power or reliability stand point? From a drivability stand point it will come down to the cam and how big you go. From a power perspective I'd be fine with 4 digits

    Ya, I was talking about the cam. I would like a big lopey cam, but want an effective car on the street and the track. Should be able to get that with this new tuning.

    Ok makes since now. Well you would look at it similar to a big Gen 3 build or maybe a Z06 heads and cam build. HpTuners will help you with idle or surging issues down low. You can always run a cam that less agressive and retain good street manners.

    The Cam and Cam design is what the factory uses to create a big aggresive cam up top but a smaller streetable feel down low. Basically the best of both worlds. Only issue is you're stuck with what you get.

    I'll have to find the balance. Troy's(TSS) black Z06 sounded badass and was fast as hell......when it ran. One of the best sounding cars around. I think he was at around 700 rwhp N/A.

    I'll see how y'all do with 610-620. We can do a couple runs against my stock Gen V when your car is done. I don't mind getting beat in roll races.

    Little update on the car. We just filmed me vs a full bolton e85 GTR. I would say I got him by 2-3 cars. I honestly never expected this car to run so well with the mods I got. Video should be up in a few days.
