hey guys, got back from the dyno and figured i owed it to everyone to
post the results :)

first, here are the current mods:

1. IP Z-tube, 3" with a 7" S&B Big Mouth

2. custom cat-back, stock 2 1/2" pipe from cat to muffler, Flowmaster 50
series Delta Flow w/ dual 2 1/4" rear exit, 3" chrome slash tips

3. removed flap near radiator

everything else is bone-stock, from plugs to t-stat to everything
else...

the numbers are a bit skewed as they hit the speed limiter in 3rd gear
so they had to run 2nd gear pulls. these results are from a DynoJet, at
Speedtek in Dallas. dyno had just been calibrated, first pull of the
day. it had a full tank of regular 87 octane pump gas from Albertons (a
grocery store).

dynorun 001 - 212.4 rwhp / 285.4 tq @ 4150 rpm (this is the first pull
where it cut out)
dynorun 002 - 207.4 rwhp / 260.5 tq @ 4900 rpm (2nd gear pull)
dynorun 003 - 202.8 rwhp / 258.8 tq @ 4850 rpm (2nd gear pull)

average is 207.5 rwhp / 268.2 tq !!!

the guys that were running the dyno said the 2nd gear pulls normally
average about 7-10 hp less than a full 3rd gear pull. if this is
correct, the numbers would be about 210 rwhp and ~280 tq, not too shabby
at all <insert big grin here> :D

needless to say, i am quite happy with the results. a gain of at least
17 RWHP from stock by only adding a new intake and opening up the
exhaust is a great payoff.

i'll be scanning and posting the print-out on my website once i have
some more time.
