I saw the tools and the work he puts into them, he told stories about
ruining his first few parts, so he has learned what not too do.

My MPG has settled down, I am up right at 3MPG gained.

The gains I have seen on Cory's site show 8 - 11 HP and about the
same for TQ.

The TB doesn't gain much (0-4HP), but refines the way the car
feels.

My car just seemed like it was held back a little, not now, it tach's
up good (not 69 Z/28 good, but much better).

I gotta get a CAI next, then headers and a tune and I am done with it.
