I wish it wasnt priced so high. It does look pretty cool under the hood.

I'm not sure if that with or without a tune.

You guys certainly have a great set of cylnder heads if you can see 100rwhp off of those mods. Almost Ellis Juan territory.

I worded my post bad but that's what I meant. The gain from the C&L was on a car with those mods. I was trying to make it clear that the C&L does not gain 27 on a stock GT.

It looks like too even with all those mods and a C&L, a TB is still not worth it N/A. 4hp...HAH!

With 20 or so horse to the rear wheels on the stock engine I bet with a centri and a good tune you'd probably see at least 40 to 50 to the wheels, even still for 750 I think its well worth it.

The TB that comes stock on the 3v is more then adequate up until pretty elevated power levels.

I saw that too and laughed. I don't really think it's priced too high. The dollar to horsepower ration is right with or better than cams (if you have to pay for installation), intake/tuner combos, and LT headers. It's good to know that now 375rwhp isn't out of the question with cams and bolt ons.
