There is also a cut-out a foot back from the manny's on each pipe that has a switch operated throttle-body like setup that when open is essentially open headers. This adds 20 to 30 RWHP on a stock N/A. A NW DCAI with 74mm TB will add 20RWHP. Upsolute and TVT both claim 20RWHP for ECU tunes. An underpulley kit will get you 12RWHP. The updated fuel filter/regulator, NGK spark plugs, and magnecor plugwires together get 10RWHP give or take 2, so call those 3 things with the pulleykit 20 to 25RWHP. So that's 20 to 30 plus 20 plus 20 plus 20 to 25 is 80 to 95RWHP and since all mods compliment each other, I would say 90 RWHP, even and solid. So stock 175RWHP plus 90RWHP is 265 RWHP. I hate being misguided, so if anybody can find any discrepancies, please inform and not flame me to death.
Did you ever end up doing this, Teck-9? I'm talking with Rudy and Lantana right now about doing a V8 swap, and was just wondering how your success went with the mods, because I, too, was looking at the exact same set-up / paulscrossfire.com with all the stuff, before I decided on the V8 swap with a manual adaptation. Any updates?
