just got the car dynod today it made 516rwhp/478rwtq.. through m6 12bolt 3.73's.. i was hoping for more Im thinking the cam is the problem.. maybe 240/247 639/647@114. Its kinda weird the car was getting tuned with cutout on and the max it did was 468rwhp/444rwtq.. i was like wtf but he told me that my exhaust was very restricting... once I took it off.. damn 516/478.. that was shocking to see how much rwhp and torque i gained just by taking the cut out off... Im thinking of changing the cam to a higher duration somewhere in 250/257 @112 and see what happeneds since it seems i have a minor leak again.. the freaking head gasket ****.. i hate that ****.. maybe will raise the compression to 11:5 or something..

Hey bud,great to see the motor together.
I use the old add 1 full point of compression and get 10 RWHP as a ballpark.
I also see 525RWHP out of that set up.Good Luck,hope to see you and Tom at the track in 2006.
