OK, after reading this thread I was, to put it lightly, officially freaked. For my wife's M6 Eforce Camaro, with JRE fuel upgrade and injectors, stock cats, hand ported and ceramic coated exhaust manifolds (by me), Thunder Racing V3 cam, Vmax ported TB, and tune, we have coaxed 585 RWHP. I dont consider myself an expert on internal combustion engines by any means but I do read alot and implement what I read in an engineering fashion. As the "gearhead of the office" this completely caught me off guard. I have encouraged a fellow co-worker down the 2010 Camaro FI road along with myself, have advised G8 owners on viable performance options and am currently assisting a grad student in his studies and understanding of internal combustion engines with regards to cam timing, head flow, CR, etc.
I think that Ted said it best with FI = more "effective" cubic inches than stock.
Bottom line is that I ordered the JBA non-catted straight pipe to replace the cats that are currently installed.
I have noticed that the car "just doesn't seem to have to power that it used to have". Although we all suffer from this mallady, the car does truly seem to have lost power and has only been driven 2k miles since the SC/cam install. Once the pipes arrive this week (hopefully), I will post pics of what I'm removing in order to circumvent a potentially catastrophic outcome.
Thanks.
