I just got my Kooks long-tubes on but no dyno. Actually I've used my 1/8th mile as a basis for gains. My cat-back and intake gained nothing. My tuned gaine .2 and 4 mph. Adding a thermostat added another .5 mph though weather might have been the factor there. I will see what happens with the long-tubes but will dyno soon to find out where my car is at.

I was told that VaraRam won't show a significant amount of horsepower on the Dyno. But as your speed increases especially through the 1/4 mile you will see the difference as far as better ET. I'm quite sure you feel the difference in power anyway. Good numbers with your setup!

My '06 with only 800 miles, Corsa Sports and twin K&N only got 338 last Saturday. There were several stock C6's there and they were all in the low 330's.
