Wish he had done a Before dyno run and then an after to see if this was really worth it .

The butt dyno doesn't cut it for this one.

Never have dynoed my car but I do race...from the feel of the car I've picked up some low end power...unfortunately I won't get any on paper result until mid April when my local track opens. Driving for about a week now I think it was worth it for me...I'm not suggesting it to anyone by any means but knowing there's porting potential still on top of what I'm feeling already with it on the car I'm personally happy with it.

It was part of the fire wall but not the actual fire wall there is a lip up top that houses the wipers...thin metal that is easily patched if there is ever a need...

I agree I'm going to test it at the track soon to see what it does to my times...I'll be able to get a rough horsepower estimate from it I'll keep you guys posted

I applaud the effort, 100%, and I imagine you'll feel an improvement

I might try this on my Cadillac CTS, it has more firewall room than a Camaro, but less hood clearance, see if it fits.
