    I'm just wondering, will that high of a compression ratio be of any concern once you add boost into the picture?

    Crossed my mind as well, but he did state it would be tuned conservatively.

    Ray - thinking about meth injection or anything to help?

    Out GTO club has a procharged GTO at 12.5 compression running 21 PSI boost. Over 900 to the wheels. I think I'll be ok at 5-7 lbs boost. I have some great local guys to work with. Remember my 419 is forged. I'm not trying to be the fastest. I don't care about that. For me it's all in being able to work on the car with friends. Then surprising those LS3 vettes.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    The tuner happens to be the one with the 900+ procharged GTO. All is good.

    You need to have a good video camera pointing in their direction once they finally get caught up to you to capture the expression(s) on their face(s). That would be epic!

    Picked up the cold pipes today and dropped off all the exhaust stuff except the connection pipes.
