20-28hp gains on modded cars. I got the manifold for 760 and installed it myself. If you need to convince yourself it isn't worth it, just don't buy one. A head and cam car will see 20rwhp repeatedly as LG, A&A, and many individuals have already seen. Yes, it was worth it.

The norm on HP on vettes seems to be about $100 per HP for a LOT of stuff. Nitrous seems to be the best bang (no pun intended) for the buck.

Spin, Do you have a picture of the mod to the firewall ?? Did you patch in, or just leave it cut out ?? Thanks

I just covered it with thermal dynamat because I was like a kid on Christmas morning waiting to just put the batteries in, so to speak. I had done so much work that I did the temporary patch,but sufficient patch to get it all together to see the power increase knowing that I was going to remove the block to do a forged bottom end.

I'm not in NY where the car is now but I will send you a few shots when I return. It looks stock. After seeing this fix, I doubt I will do anything else immediately.

With your honest opinion, approx. much rear wheel gains to expect with a FAST intake added to my Procharger kit.

Thanks
