Gained 10RWHP/RWTQ across curve at LGM yesterday 
Yesterday, the following was added to my 2001 C5 Coupe, A4 at LG Motorsports; LSX 90mm Intake Manifold, G2 NW 90mm TB, and Random Tech Metal Matrix HF Cats [not shown].
I apologize for the poor quality Dyno graph PIC. The blue lines [404.4RWHP/372.1RWTQ] represents dyno run done yesterday, and the red lines [395.2RWHP/373.8RWTQ] represents dyno run on 4/17/04. After several dyno runs [only one graph shown above] the additional LSX 90mm Intake/90mm TB & RT Cats resulted in 405RWHP/372RWTQ, which is a 10RWHP peak gain, as well as throughout the majority of the curve. The peak torque was reduced by 1 ft-lbs., however improved torque of 10 ft-lbs. throughout majority of the curve resulted. *Important to note, in most cases Cats result in a 5-10RWHP/RWTQ loss.
Therefore, I'm very happy with the dyno results of 405RWHP/372RWTQ. BTW, I still have stock Heads! I do notice a SOTP improvement with a quicker throttle response, and my wife says "the no Cats smell" is gone, as well as a little bit quieter, now too... LOL.

Man I cannot wait until I can get my headers too.I sent Mark, of VNM, a set of clean, used C5 Brake Calipers, and he sent me back a set of powdercoat mag red calipers for $180.00. Included disassembly/reassembly/replacement of the caliper internals. Check out the link above and give Mark a call. BTW, tell Mark the Army Nurse sent you.
Thanks for the kudos! What Long Tubes are you getting? You know my suggestion.
Pssst, LG Pro Long Tubes Header system.

Would love to go with the LG's or Kooks. Depends on how I feel about spending the cash yea know. I will have to contact him about the calipers. Thats cheaper then going the Z06 caliper route and better then painting them myself. When I dyno'd my car the other day I noticed how ugly they looked through the wheel while it was spinning. Time for a change. Thanks dude appreciate it.
