Buschur ported & coated parts install (pics)

I'm used to it being 3600 or even 3800, but I will show comparisons on the dyno tomorrow from previous times in 3rd gear on that same dyno.

1) Increased power - To Be Determined
2) Quicker spoolup - so far, yes, but yet to be proven (tomorrow)
3) Cooler under-hood temps - Check! It's very noticable, and I don't need the heat shield anymore
4) Aesthetics - Check! If you can get the first 3 while looking good, then that's a big bonus.
nice looking setup. IMHO the hood vent just kills these cars with rain water on the manifold/turbo. Even if the coating doesn't help peformnce at all, it will sure keep everything decent looking for a long time.
Can't want to see how your car runs on the alky. Good luck

Any thoughts on the 20g-9??

20g-9 looks nice, but I am perfectly happy with where I'm going to be next week for at least the next full year of racing. We'll see how I feel at the end of this year...
Did you also install that open element filter, or do you plan to before getting retuned?
EDIT: Never mind. Just re-read your message. I think that filter is going to affect your dyno numbers as much as the exhaust parts if the tune isn't adjusted. How do you like the whoosh-psssst sounds that your car makes now?
