now that is what i'm talking about! 490ish at the rear is impressive to say the least. picking up almost 150hp at the tires from headers, exhaust and tune is crazy!

can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't exactly say that. I lived in Sacramento for 24 years and saw the decline first hand. 93 octane to 92 octane, to the swill they call 91, but actually performs like 89. The Golden State ain't so golden anymore. After the gestapo raid on a Sacramento smog shop for passing illegal cars - on the TV news no less - where they came in the front door with a SWAT team, I was pretty much done.

If it was 490hp then most likely it was a dynapack. I don't realistically see this car making over 100whp (23% in power) with just i/h/e/tune.

Agreed...our car puts down like 325-340whp considering roughly 20% loss in power. With that said, to throw down 490ish hp, that's 165-180whp from i/h/e/tune? Which is easily over 500hp....not sure how this is possible?
