Logan, let me know what you find out. I would suspect that a custom tune would be needed to make sure everything is properly set to account for the better breathing from a p&p.

A guy named gash did it and he is running about 220RWHP with minor mods. Yes the labor is expensive and lots of labor.

ya i'd love to port and polish as well. but it's true that it's going to be very pricey because of the labor.

Don't worry Ron. I only got the DR's because they make the car LOOK fast!
