I haven't pushed it hard yet. Seems more or less the same below 3k rpms. Did a little romp to only 5k and it felt pretty strong. Not gonna do any WOT runs 'till after the tune.
Yeah, the install was a bitch. My bud (who has built engines before) and myself (rookie) found it to be more work than we expected. Wire and hose connections gave me more anxiety than wrenching itself. We also lost time trying to loosen my headers which had siezed at the collector to the X-pipe (on a positive note, I can run open headers now with all of 5 minutes time to unbolt my X-pipe - it is now a pure bolt-on exhaust).

Funny thing, this hole 11's thing has been such a long ongoing joke, that I myself think it's hilarious. My buddy put it best today, he said...
"Carlos, you're like George Steinbrener of the Yankees... if at first you don't succeed, you buy your way into what you want, now you're truly gonna have a bonafide 11's car -WITH YOU DRIVING IT- , you've actually had an 11's car for about half a year now".
That comment made my day.
