Looks like you picked up everywhere which is nice. I guess with a well ported MSD you would see another 15/15 (similar to this across the board) or maybe even 20hp at the higher rpms.

I think your pretty spot on with that....especially considering the displacement in play right now although alot of it depends on how good the heads are as well.

The better the heads the more an unported MSD represents a restriction in the airflow pipeline.

Here is an older thread (still very relatable data of course) showing some of my customers gains going from unported MSD's to my ported MSD's

PS....If you need some help with that MSD shoot me a call, email, or PM and we can discuss it
