I've always wondered--are you just guessing on your numbers, or have you actually had in on the dyno? I only ask because of the use of "around".

Long story..
Here's my dyno sheet....
http://home.att.net/~carlos.ramirez1...2/site1003.jpg

I didn't believe it. Therefore I took it to another dyno on the same day (where numbers are usually low) and dynoed high 380's, with tensioner dying and the belt slipping.

Since then, I've added a Jantzer ported TB and True Duals, Moser 9" and SpecIII.

I'd like to see what it puts down now with the 9" installed. My traps the other night were consistent 118mph, so I'd venture to say around 400rwhp is fair to say.

I totally agree, and I figured that the scenario was something like that. I was just curious.

Did you see a noticeable difference with the addition of the new throttle body?

I was surprised as to how well the setup took to the TB. Totally recommend it.

I have a 02 ws6 6sp car and was wondering how your 231\237 cam was for a cam only daily driver. No future plans for heads as of now. If you could send me pricing for the cam special plus ASP sfi pulley and TI retainers, and your mail order tune.

Thanks

My setup is daily driven, to and from work, on stock heads. Love it. Even go out to lunch in it, ties, boss, clients and all. They get a kick out of it.

Same here, minus the clients. Mine is driven rain or shine, and I have no issues with it at all.

Me too, but once things warm up, things are smooth.
