I have done the basic bolt on's that I dyno tested and posted here (CAI, ported TB, Borla mid pipe) and am moving on to the next step. My car is at Dynosty to have a data logging system installed (HP Tuners basic edition, AFE gauge with wideband), Fasterproms ram air duct, Fasterproms aux. intercooler tank, Cordes intercooler heat exchanger, Mighty Mouse oil separator, 160 F thermostat & billet housing, doing a proper intercooler bleed with the GM tools and elevating front of car.

Next up after that will be a 18 % O.D. balancer and pulley setup and a tune. I have given up on getting any real HP & TQ out of this car without tuning it.

No, not until and if I upgrade the SC to a 2300 Maggie. Want to see how the A8 car reacts to these changes first. Plenty of indication I can get decent gains with stock headers. If the Maggie goes on then the long tubes will also go on.
