Yeah, I heard her car got stolen earlier this year but I'm glad she got it back.

She didn't get it back, but she bought another one. The one that was stolen was found in pieces in a field......

I don't know about a sister?

I'm running a custom setup. No cats, x-pype, bullet race mufflers, and "PYPES" tips.

Those kids are Mackin' on your trophy. Better put it back in the trunk before someone tries to steal it.

So I wonder what kind of numbers my car could put down now?

I've added S&S headers and a 5 speed manual trans. I also have a SAFC NEO which will be hooked up here soon. The car is running like a beast right now with no tune. Do you guys think it would be outrageous to see maybe 220-225whp out of her after being tuned? Maybe I'm over shooting it but I really feel a huge bump in performance. I'm sure a lot of it is in my head but I don't think another 20-30whp is too far fetched?

I'm interested to see what it puts up to. A lot of what you are feeling is gonna just be related to the different gearing in the new trans.

I know the gearing is going to throw me off. I'm sure I'll see an increase with the headers and being tuned with the NEO, I just wonder about how much. I also wonder if the trans would make a difference in power at all? I would think it would because it's less drag than the auto to get the power to the ground. But who knows.... I will be keeping my eyes out for the next dyno day.

like I said on facebook, maybe 10-15% gain tops since the a34x aren't that lossy and there's still some drivetrain loss from the manual trans.
