1. More money...
2. Boost... 3. More Money... 4. Giggle gas... A fun one for me.... Increase the red line... We were shifting my build at 9000 RPM... The sound was amazing.... but it wasn't a cheap mod....

I miss seeing the updates on your build, it’s gotta be a bitter sweet thing having her gone. The videos you’ve posted in the past were 100% bad ass!

I would say that shorty headers really didn't do much other than cook my starter, but that list looks good otherwise and shy of nitrous, supercharger, and/or turbos I've done the rest of those upgrades. Pre cam install I was making 365rwhp/390rwtq with a Rotofab cold air intake, ported throttle body, Kooks long tube headers with high flow cats, NGKTR6 plugs, and Solo Mach XL catback. I haven't had the car on a dyno since the cam swap, but I'm told it should be around 450rwhp. The stock base line for my car was about 320rwhp.

I've had the cam swap done for about 4 years now, it's just not been on the dyno since. It was street tuned at the shop. There's a big cars and coffee around here that brings a mobile dyno. One of these days it won't be raining, snowing, etc. on one of the weekends and I'll get her on their dyno. I'm curious to see what the difference would be with the diverters open vs closed.
