If you are a M6 car I wouldn't be suprised with 30rwhp or so. A4 car might not get that much.
Just for reference, my old Comp Cams setup (224/228, .581/.588, 112lsa) gave me 30 rwhp and 20 rwtq. I had all bolt ons and LS6 intake.
I then switched to the G5X3 cam and got another 30 rwhp over the Comp Cams setup and 21 rwtq more. So that's 60 rwhp over stock and 51 rwtq over stock, just to give you the difference in cams.

Wow, your H O camaro is nice. I think im going with the GX53 or similiar and i have seen one in person in the car. I want to know if you like it and that you dont regret it. My observation is that its a little rough but worth it.

Thanks for the compliment. I LOVE the X3, the only regret that I have is that I waited so long to get one, it's ******* amazing! Just a blast to drive, it still pulls like a mad cow in 110 degree weather here in AZ, I CAN'T WAIT for winter, it's gonna HAUL ***!!!!!

HAHA, it's nice for about 3-4 months out of the year, the rest of the time is ******* HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, burn your *** getting in the car, can't touch anything, sweat your *** off going 1 mile down the street, you get to the place you are heading before the A/C can cool your car off, etc. So it's not all that great, come winter time and VERY early spring, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's nice!! We have monsoons, rain, etc too, just not that often, usually right after you wash your car

Yeah no shiznit, that's why I don't have the bottle right now, I am waiting till winter time to get that setup again, then watch out! There seems to be very little that's good about AZ, but I will never move away Been here 21 years now, and I actually kind of like living here, HATE the heat though. I need to buy a cabin up north and go there during the summer months
And since you aren't spraying in the summer, I will race ya anytime now

Yeah a summer and winter house would be ideal 94 octane, must be nice, we barely get a 91 octane for $2.40, I bet it's less than that though. It will cost up to $4-5/gallon for 100 octane

A silly question but if you have the right A/F shouldnt the spray be fine in the heat. The intake heat would go down no? You would still have to address knock and spark retard though.

You would probably have to richen it up too much that street driving will suffer off the bottle, and if it goes lean some how on the bottle, NOT good. It's hard to get a car not to detonate and keep peak performance here in the summer I
