Plan B
I guess I will have to settle for a set of AFR Heads and a cam and hope AFR is close with their 80 added horsepower claim. Although my motor only has 20k miles on it so it might handle a low boost supercharger before exploding.
I'm so confused.

Tire Shreader
Boomdriver,
I am with you on the tire shreader, I love doing it now with the awesome torque of my C4 but I want horsepower. I was running down the highway and a new SS Trailblazer was running right with me. It wasn't a good feeling until I got home and googled the SS and found out...
Turbo or not
I am with Boomdriver, first chance I can get my hands on a supercharger, I am installing. I just don't want to spend 3k. Hopefully I can find one for about 1,500. Good luck on whatever you do.

The install would have went better if we fit tested the pipe on the garage floor. One of the Headers wouldn't accept the mating pipe because I believe the Ceramic coating was a little thick so we had to sand some off.
The directions were good but I would add some info that wasn't included. If...
Exhaust Installed
OK guys and gals, the new Melrose exhaust system is in.
It was an all day job but it sounds great and feels like it pulls good at the top end. The system consists of Long Tue Headers, X-Pipe, High Flow Converters and I purchased and installed Borla Mufflers. When I have a...
I have the book and my page 28 is fine. It contains 3 pictures with captions.
I will scan the page at work tomorrow and e-mail it to you.
I purchased my copy at Barnes & Noble.

I hope your wrong about the 5 horsepower.
The 236 RWHP is actual uncorrected.
The Melrose exhaust are Long Tube Headers, X-pipe, and free flowing converters. I hope I get more then 5 horsepower but the dyno (ego-buster) doesn't lie. I paid $1,400 for the Headers to the mufflers and $450...
OK guys, any day now now my new Melrose Exhaust will be here and I will be installing it soon after the return of my vacation (July 6th). I will also install Borla Mufflers. Can anybody tell me what I have to look forward too? I will let everybody know how it goes. I also plan on having another...
DYNO RESULTS
OK people, I ran my car on the dyno today (4/4/09) with the following results from the two pulls:
Dyno Run 1 - Max Power = 233.12 rwhp, Max Torque = 300.76
Dyno Run 2 - Max Power = 236.09 rwhp, Max Torque = 297.84
It just goes to show you that the numbers posted by manufacturers...
Dyno
I have to call back Friday to see if I can make three pulls on Saturday and then see what the next modification will be. I am going to Welcome to Anderson Performance Automotive! , check out their web site, they have a buick grand national going 7.25. WOW! If they can get me in Saturday, I...
Dyno
I am checking into local dyno houses now. (@ $100.00 per hour).
I know I am not blowing the doors off anything I would just like to know that I have improved the car some.
Thanks,
Lee
So True
It's funny you say that because I was kidding with my wife the other day about where I should put all the stickers. She told me that if I put any stickers on the car she wouldn't ride in it anymore. Is that a good thing or a bad thing????
