I am interested in seeing what can be reached with only bolt ons and tuning. I dont feel like opening my engine just yet. But some headers, free flow cats, mufflers and a CAI are definetely in consideration.
have any dyno numbers with only bolt ons and tuning?

The torque management retards timing and even closes the butterfly valve. That is not good for NOS situations!!!!
Even if you have bolt ons and a proper tuning of the main ECU, the Automatic tranny computer will STILL hold the car back dramatically. According to Cartek, eliminating the Torque management could give you 3 tenths and 3 mph in the 1/4. That is HUGE! Equal to 50 horse power.
Damn the TM!! Damn the devil to hell!!
