Robert and Elizabeth Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Well, Mike at AZPS had Vanessa all day installing the ported heads and 60# fuel injectors. Once we got to drive her, WOW, what a difference!! It feels like about a 30-40HP increase in our estimation. The tires are now losing traction where they didn't before. Next week hopefully the double disc clutch and port matched manifold will be here and can be installed along with the new air induction system. Now we are really excited because we got a little taste of it tonight. After this, we are maxed out as far as naturally aspirated is concerned. We will keep you posted and will post dyno #'s when we get them. I took pictures, but I am too damn tired to post them right now. Will do it in the near future though.

DavidMe either, but I'm waitin' for the blower to go in before I beg for my ride. That's awesome you two, that bee is killer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Y Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Awesome! I may beg for a ride whenever I see it, regardless of engine mods! Phil took me for a ride in his C6 during his detail day to show me his "exhaust mods" and I was pretty blown away. It's hard to imagine another 100 hp...
