You should be right in the neighborhood of 450RWHP. You are similar to my setup and Rick squeezed 450 out of mine.

it's going to cost around 2k with tuning not to bad for the amount of work that has to be done.

I think the car will make 450rwhp even without the 90/90, with it you should see at least 460-470rwhp.

My friends car with the same setup and FAST 90/90, but no cats is pushing 470.

His car runs great. As a matter of fact he is changing his setup so I am taking his FAST 90/90 off his hands.

Very nice of me if I dont say so myself.

I hope to see some good numbers when I do my install this weekend and then have MIKE NORRIS do my DYNO tuning.

I feel like a kid again thinking about that Christmas morning.
