I have been working with Livernois Motorsports and made some adjustments and tweaks to my tune,the car sounds even better with a deeper growl,let alone better performance,cant wait to take her to the track.Z.
Oooh, do tell on the adjustments you've been making.

Let me start off by saying you have to know whats inside of a tune and have the knowledge to fully comprise on how a tune is written to fully attain its potential.LOL (adjusted the fans)lol.
Haha...I have a feeling....with the urge to track it and the tune adjustments being stated so closely together that there may be a little more to this ;) 

Fan adjustment = more growl from the pipes

When you throw down some new times I'm hoping for some news to trickle down.

I'm a little excited now about you being excited to get to the track with this tune adjustment.

Luckily only one of us is named "Thomas" ;)  Never doubt our undoubtedness, Z!  If this is the case, this feeling is a boil that needs lancing.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

The PPE pipes are really a 2-3 week wait? That kinda sucks...

Does anyone have the Unleashed pipes and can verify any fitment issues?

Pick the one you want.  All of them are limited production (like our cars, LOL)...so finding them in stock is just luck of the draw.  I do love my PPEs... and the black ceramic coating Paul put on them.  Many are happy with Unleashed also... I only question connecting a 2.25" header to a 3" pipe...and then back to a 2.25" pipe...I don't think it hurts, but must question if it helps... Can't find any objective data on this.

Sadly, yes.  I just am too busy to find time to jack up my car and spend a few hours with her.  My garage is full off trim/doors/saws/junk.  After my garage gets cleaned out, I'm putting the SHO up on jack stands for a weekend and getting it done.  Don't worry, I'll post up pics and video to celebrate the occasion!

I could relate to Munkees statement about being busy and all,cause the magority of last year i was running around like a chicken with no head due to a personal matter,so i  definetly know where he's coming from.Z.

Maybe Ill pop over on Unleashed topic and ask him about that. I cant imagine it being an issue but Ive heard its VERY tight.

It was a bit tight with the PPEs for sure.. lift made it easier... did 3 sets in one day on my car during development/fitment... watch the O2 sensors!

My concern are laminar flow vs. eddies and turbulence (kinda the opposite of scavenging)... but again I have no objective data... Flow testing is expensive!
