Welcome to the boards. Looks nice! So give us some specs!! What does she have in her? Any nice mods? Any short term and long term plans for adding power? If it's bone stock, then you can do a couple quick things for free to gain some extra HP. First remove the air silencer...too restrictive. Next bump the timing 4 - 6 degrees. That should give you 20 - 30 HP or so.

I figure if he bumps timing from 10 - 16, then a gain of roughly 3 - 4 HP per degree (at lower levels) comes out to be 18 - 24 HP. Then if he frees up that air and lets it breathe a little better that will give a little extra. That's how I figured it would end up between 20 and 30 extra... depending on his location, air density, air temp, humidity, etc.

I wish I could dyno right now! LoL. I dynoed on hot *** humid days sucking in low-density warm air. Now it's freaking freezing outside!

3-4 hp per degree is pushing it a little bit... I would guess maybe 1-2 but hey... noone knows for sure lol

Also, I agree about the dyno. I swear Im going to have a dyno in my garage when I get my own house lmao

If I could justify spending $32,000 on it, I'd have one already! LoL. Unfortunately, I don't have anywhere near that amount of money to spare.

I have to settle for the next best thing... A friend with a dyno in his garage I guess it beats paying $75.
