Great gains. Were the stock injectors maxed? Any pickup from those or you think this was just from the x-pipe? Either way, I'd be happy as hell with that.

Side note, are you planning on running a blower at some point or did you just want excellent driveability with that cam? Just curious.

They were barlely maxed out.. I just wanted to be safe.. all the HP came from the X-Pipe..

Very nice. Looks like you removed the cats, installed the x-pipe and installed larger injectors. I wonder how much gain was from the removal of the cats?
