Anyway, the car baselined at 348.3 hp at 6100 rpm and 338.0 lb-ft at 4800 rpm. We installed the FIPK on the dyno (it turned out the previous owner had added a K&N panel filter in the stock housing, for whatever that's worth) and afterward it pulled 356.9 hp and 343.6 lb-ft at the same rpm as the baseline pull.
8hp with the drop in filter?

You talking about what I just installed? Loud enough to notice a difference.

No, the baseline run had a drop-in filter (I didn't know it at the time). We installed the full K&N kit and that picked up 8 hp.

I've got the B&M, UUC bushings, and that GTO/Monaro boot/**** on it's way. After that I'm probably gonna tinker with the exhaust. Maybe a custom job with reduced crap and more Magnaflow.

i was supposed to get my B&M last friday but UPS misrouted the package and it is a week delayed!! got my UUC bushings sitting right here.

Next mod will most likely be intake followed by a ported TB and lightened flywheel new clutch combo. After that I will get it tuned.

I'm sure I'll need tires before I get to my next mod.

Sorry, I didn't think my comment about the car seat was that offensive, but looking back I can see where you could have taken it out of context.

Posted on the other site. I completed my B&M/UUC Bushing install and topped it off with the Holden **** and Boot. Great feel and the looks are night and day.

That shifter install is awesome. Would you mind posting the links of where you got everything if you got it online? Thanks! That's my next install!

B&M shifter came from Atlantic Speed. $200 (eBay auction)
http://www.atlanticspeed.com/

UUC bushings (2) $35(?) Call the parts Dept. they have them in stock.
http://www.lindsaycadillac.com/

Shift **** and boot
http://www.ebay.com/

You might not be able to find the **** and boot but keep looking. There's a place in Australia that sells them but I'm not sure who or how much.

Excellent! I'll keep my eyes out for the **** and boot. Definitely like how it looks in your car. Will the C6 z06 **** work also?
