That's genius! I love it!

That's odd because I'm on break at work and just got on here a few minutes ago and seen where I had apparently posted something that wasn't related to me?? It looked like a post from the OP coming up on my account??

Yeah, it sure sounded to me like words from the OP. I was kinda surprised that it was your post.

Voyager, that was my post. I have no idea why it came up under your screen name?

I deleted it so there was no confusion in the thread.

It was my post, I deleted it so no confusion would happen in the thread. That's really weird...

I will for sure! I have a few pics of the car when it was first purchased! The paint on It is absolutely stunning, it was painted dark green (previous owner) , but the original color on the door and glovebox come up as "Bright teal metallic" so the door jams are funky. I can never tell if they're green or blue...? Any ideas on this?

Me personally, the car is already fast and get someone in trouble, if the car makes 348hp, well why is that so different from if I gave him a bolt on LS1 that made similar power numbers?? I'm really interested in the 305 or the 218/224...
If that's what you want, go 218/224 on a 112 LSA. You won't be disappointed.
OR....if you wanted to go slightly bigger, you can do what I did and go with the XE224/236 on a 112. This is normally thought of as a blower cam and ordered on a 114 LSA. But my results speak for themselves...this is through MAC mid-length headers and full cat-back. Stock headers, stock gear-driven water pump, stock untouched heads, stock ~105k mile shortblock. Want a hard-hitting midrange? Heh heh.....if you went with this number, I hope you aren't paying for your son's tires.

I agree, this setup is not peaky at all. Makes torque everywhere. I have the M6 and it pulls stock 3.42s willingly. My graph looks similar to yours, just about 20 lower, and seems to peak earlier too. I'm going to change the exhaust this winter and work on a couple other things to refine it and hopefully the 15-25whp I think I'm missing will turn up.
