Thank you, great article. I will be putting the engine into an RX8 so will have to pick up a car intake an will be looking for a Camaro Pan. I have been reading everything I can find to try and come up with a plan but definitely have to start with the DOD Delete.

I saw that when the stock Gen III 5.3 they used was rated at 353HP/384#-ft.
In a pickup it was rated at 285-295HP. So yeah, just a bit optimistic. But I used it like any dyno test, and just compared between the different ratings. It was about the differences in power, and they seemed legit, but I had nothing to compare it all to.
