Have you done any 1/4 mile time runs at this point yet? If so what are you running?

Do you have any G-Tech data from before the I/C install? I know you picked up
20hp and 12trq from the I/C, but that was from a 3rd (I'm guessing) gear pull.

I'm interested in finding out if an upgraded I/C would really do me any good in
day-to-day driving, like 0-60mph. A 3rd gear pull from 1,750-7,000rpms takes me
9.5 sec. So I can see that a larger I/C might help in that situation. 0-60 should
take less than 5sec, so I'm not sure if the I/C would make any real difference.

I just finished a quick review of the Buschur Racing ported/coated stock exhaust manifold I installed.

Yesterday I did a g-tech run in the 100* heat and the car clicked off a 12.79 @ 109mph

I went out this morning before it got ridiculous hot to see how my car is doing.

it's 82* but with 79% humidity... very sticky. I did a lazy 1-2 shift just to make sure I didn't miss the gear but I shifted quickly on the 2-3 and 3-4 shift.

0-60 3.82
1/8th 7.88 @ 91.07
1.74 60'
1/4 12.28 @ 113.84

this was with a 26psi spike on 93 octane with the forge bov.. my previous best was a 12.41 @ 111 at 24psi spike on the stock bov after several tires. The new best was on the first try.

I did a 3rd gear pull and DLL showed 335awhp
