I don't see exhaust mods in you're sig. I am running about the same setup with Magnaflow x with high flow cats and magnaflow axle backs. I had the canned tune and pulled 287. After they did the custom tune for me I pulled 304.8. If you have the exhaust maybe a custom tune? Especially with the 62 mm T/B.

CAI kit and custum tune from Brenspeed, for sure the best bang for the buck!! Sell the K&N kit on Ebay.. I also added MAC mufflers again fron Brenspeed, wouldn't change a thing 9 months later...

Pullies and delete plates should put you over 300 to the wheels. I need to get mine dynoed again once I get it right to see what it is putting down. I have not had a good dyno since the addition of the pullies.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I am thinking axle back exhaust because although it sounds good in the car, I notice that when someone else is driving and they pull away, it is pretty quiet!
The aluminum drive shaft also sounds nice since I have a vibration after the gear change!
I'll have to think about the pullies since it is rather hot out here in the summer, I can't afford to have a low output A/C and altenator (for running the fans on HIGH!)
By the way, please explain what "delete plates" are?? How difficult are these to change and what is involved in changing them (what do I have to take off and put back on?)
Thx,
Mike

The engine comes with Charge Motion Plates. They are between the heads and manifold and have what amounts to butterflies to each port. If I understand right the computer can open and close these to control that flow into the cylinders to allow for the best torque and cynlinder intake volume to maximize the charge. I personally chose not to go that route and am over the 300 rwhp mark. Changing them involves removing the intake from the engine. I have heard mixed reviews on them and a couple of claims that they made no difference as well as a couple of claims of power increases. I remain nuetral on that one
