It’s got a intake/cold air box on it and the tune. The cars are also tuned from the factory to run on 87 octane which has a lot to do with any gains. If you notice the section I posted this in…John Donovan tuned it he has been doing HP tuners for a while now. ---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ---------- > [@JayS](#): > > Wow, who tuned it, and what do you think I’d get with a tune on the GTO? I doubt a stock GTO would pick up anything like this see the above comment about 87 octane. ---

Congrats that is nothing short of incredible tuning :tup: . You gained 70 rwhp & 72.4 lbs. ft of torque from 93 octane, cold air intake and tuning. You should post the results on the HP Tuners Forum, G8 Board, and [LS1tech.com](http://LS1tech.com). Once people get wind of it you will be so busy tuning cars you will have to purchase another dyno just to keep up. Welcome to the big leagues ---
