So after a year of owning the car the only thing I changed was the intake setup to a Svede OTR intake roughly a 3 month waiting list at the time but well worth it.Almost 1 year to the day i got the car it had been vandalize with a knife and all 4 tires slashed..(get the tissue ready):(

Even the 06 tail lights got cracked, the only parts was spared was the roof and the front bumper wtf,CSI looking it over but I got an 8MP camera on my cell and im snapping away before they get there and the rain comes and a few things become apparent real quick.More on than later

So I call my insurance company to come out and praying that this **** is covered,im thinking even if it is what about my 19 inch tires smh.The insurance rep comes out and takes notes and pictures and says your fully covered from the tires to the roof (smilng on the inside cause well i got a plan).I went to 3 shops and I just didnt feel comfortable with them working on my car, I just didnt get that feeling they were car guys but more or less it was just work for them so a friend took me to Neshaminy Auto Painting @ Collision and after about a half hour discussion I gave them the job to restore my ride and they didnt waste anytime

The paint on the car was to thick to be painted on top of cause it was already 10mil thick, and they told me what needed to be done... strip it down to the metal and build it back up with all new emblems (so i say while your at it feel free to throw a magnuson supercharger on it while your at it lol)umm no its not gonna happen i guess. I always like the look of the 05-06 hoods so I went onto craigslist and found one for$200 with everything and yes I use a 300 to haul **** too

I am amazed that you dyno'd that high stock... DO like the black SAP grills though but I can't get myself to spend $300 for them. It was a smart move to repaint the whole car because the stock paint sucks really bad.

jpalamar lucky for me they came with the car but they definitely enhance the look of the car,M6's have a tendacy to show more power on the dyno vs the auto's because of the converter but their are reports of a few factory freaks too

Looks awesome!

You're tuned, correct? Of course it's going to show higher, anything tuned will. So theoretically he is not stock. And I'd assume you used hp tuners?

Qwibby thanks I havent changed the tune since i got it, it was already dyno'd by the original owner whom happen to be the Lead mechanic at the dealership i bought the car from so i spoke to him for about an hour about what was done to it, I also realized he was a member of ls1gto.com and was able to read anything he had change on the car.So when i bought the car i was given 2 things a laminated dyno sheet and the original purchase sticker thats displayed in the window.

Import Junky thanks, thats not crappy luck trust me (AmbitiousCK) hit it right on the head...and im a firm believer in an eye for an eye

Sorry to hear about the vandalism but it looks like its coming right along an its looking good. I agree with JPalamer thats one hell of a dyno session even with a tune already my car only put down 340/341 with an LS2 bone stock. Even on the GTO forums you dont see to many LS1 ones putting down much into the 300s if 300 at all with those kinds of mods so you deffintly god a runner there. Best of luck with the new paint job though an keep what sounds like the Ex's away from it lol.
