Sold the 2005 Mustang GT and purchased a 2008 C6 LS3 Corvette Coup. Loved the Mustang but this Vette is so much better! Color is Velocity Yellow with a 6 speed manual. I've added window tinting 20% on sides and 15% on the hatch. A real must have for sunny Florida.

The advertised LS3 flywheel hp is 430, however with the AiRaid intake and Corsa's I estimate it's around 440 at the flywheel. Dyno'd and here's the Dynojet graph rwhp. Baseline pull was 387.5 rwhp and torque was around 380.    Tuner added a basic tune that got it to 390 rwhp then added the ported TB and Upper intake. 5 pulls later then a test drive with logging going we ended up with over 400+ rwhp.  Throttle response will snap your neck. Kudo's to Jeremy at Fastproms Tuning. Doing the math 15% drive train loss gets to around 475+ at the flywheel. Btw - Jeremy cut a opening  in the shroud right beneath the Airaid Intake. I now have cold air going directly into the motor. This adds power that is not seen on a dyno. I'll get to the track and see what happens in the Qtr mile. : )

Gotta love the power the LS3's are puttin' down...nice ride. I would however argue that LT's are better than LS7 exhaust manifolds.
