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!! :thumbs 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. :yesnod 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.

They looked purty serious all around .. nicely done.

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...

Try 150 to 200 more than our ride around the block. I'm only at 400 at the wheels. :toetap
