Well in the next couple of days I will be getting my '07 ESV back. Better than ever. The first performance mod i did was an Injen Cold Air Intake. I have come a long way. The first major upgrade was a Supercharger pushing 7.5lbs of boost, shorty headers, and an electric exhaust cut-out. Now this time around, new custom bored heads, custom Comp Cams cam, Brembo GT brake kit, and Hotchkis Sway bars. I will be posting pics and specs in the next couple of days. P.S. Comp Cams does not produce a cam for the 6.2 liter engine yet, they will in the next 6 months. The cam they have now fits only with a Corvette engine cover and oil sensor. The engine cover I am referring to is the one that goes where the crank and timing belt are. If anyone would like to see the truck I have pics on myspace.com/oscar_dubz .I also live in the miami area. |

The work is being done by Adrian Sixto of UMS (Unique Motorsports) right here in Miami. Well the Gt kit with install ran me $7,600 cash w/o tax. |

I'm really interested in how much you like it.
What HP increase have you received?
Can u really feel it?
Any difference in MPG
I have a 524 HP 997 EVO super charged Porsche 911 and I love that mod. Looking at doing the same to my ESV. |

With just the supercharger n headers i was like at 535-550hp at the motor. Yea you could feel the difference. I was eating up ricers left n right. Beat a couple of beemers also. MPG was slightly better when i wasnt going fast. I didn't calculate it but it was a slight improvement. Now with all the additional work I'm looking at 700-725hp at the motor. As soon as I can I'll take it out to the track as well. |

The stock engines low end will not take that power without damaging the pistons, several have tried.

Yes the engine is being redone. In the process the compression is being lowered from 10.8to1(stock) to 9.5to1. Thanks for looking out tho |
