LT4 Potential

I just recently hit 10k miles on the odometer; maybe its just me but the car feels much more aggressive than before. Does the full potential of the LT4 break through at a certain mileage interval?

colder weather, probably loss of traction and bald tires

That is funny - but we can cancel out the bald tires. Just put 4 brand new ones on her.

This is probably another reason. Extra sticky.

probably a bit of becoming more comfortable with the car over that amount of time as well.

my butt dyno showed higher results after the first oil change as well as after I wash it.

My car always gains at least 30 hp to the wheels after an oil change.
