Default Dropped her off at tuners today

Well, got her dropped off at www.houstonperformance.com this morning
for dyno tune and H/I install checkout

Drove it about 15miles on first long test drive after all the work, no problems

Still getting a lot of oil in the upper intake but I think it might just be normal
for aftermarket intakes with no PCV oil baffle.

Gonna have them do a custom dyno tune, install off road H-Pipe,
and check over all the stuff I just installed ( see sig for details )

They said it shouldn't take more than a couple of days
so worst case have it by Friday and if lucky maybe
go pick her up tomorrow afternoon.

Hoping to see 270-290rwhp or close to 350 crank hp

Will let you know.............................

Didn't you make 218rwhp before? I figured you'd get closer to 300rwhp now.

You should see more than that just with those heads. AFR's produce close to 100HP alone.

I think that they're talking about 300 at the crank.

No they said 300rwhp. Well I hope you do! but most likely you'll be around 260-280rwhp. Thats just my opinion though
