So I finally got it tuned today. The car made 461hp 418tq! I am very pleased with these numbers and the motor feels/runs/sounds like a champ. With a better intake setup im sure i can get close to the 500s. For now, im enjoying this thing. Heres a video and some pics! enjoy.

Results like yours are the reason I've pretty much given up on gen 1 stuff. I bet it still does well in stop and go traffic.

What does it turn at the track?

Thanks everyone! From a 5.7 to a 6.0 its a NIGHT and DAY difference! The new setup is so torquey, its a blast to drive. I can drive it everyday if i wanted but i have another car as a DD.

Yeah, im debating on if i should just go ahead and pull the trigger on it or not. Money is tight these days. With the cut out, I gained somewhere around 10-15 hp. I cant remember off top my head what was the exact numbers was.

Yeup, a FAST will pretty much compliment my current set up just perfect! Just dont have extra cash i can dump into the car right now. maybe in a few months!

Same question im asking myself... Im taking the car to the track next month so i'll keep everyone posted. Im shooting for low 11s
