FWIW I'm going to add a Green Filter double cone filter to the intake. I don't expect it to flow noticeably better than the S&B that is on there now (though it likely will), I am getting it mainly because it filters better than the K&N/S&B style filters and yet flows as well or better.

After the tuning session to find the missing HP/TQ, it was night time. Then the weather turned cold so I was not able to get an in-car video of how the car is running with the full maggie power on tap. It got into the 40s today so here's the video I got. Running real nice. In these clips, I'm hitting 100 at the top of 3rd, on the third run I take it up to 120-125 using 4th. I'm not launching real hard, some wheel hop and if I launch hard it is just is all wheel spin. Some of that is the 102 added HP and some is the old Summer only tires in 40 degree weather and some is crappy pavement in most places around here now.
Regardless of the traction issues, it has become quite clear that the new found HP has created a real problem of wheel hop. I never really had much of an issue with wheel hop in this car, now it is pretty easy to find. I hope the poly bushings for the rear control arms helps with that. I don't want to do drag bags so if that doesn't help, I guess I'll have to look into getting a set of those anti-wheel hop half shafts. And you know, once again I forgot to turn up the rear Konis to full stiff to see if that would help. I think I have them set at full soft or close to it right now.
