After installing (in order) a Hushpower axleback, Cold air intake, custom tune, BOSS intake, revised tune, off road h-pipe, revised tune and now 3.73 gears (up from stock 3.31s), I can say the car is FINALLY where it needs to me. No dead zones in the power curve, no sense of low end torque loss, and as God is my witness, my mileage actually improved. While I haven't yet raced it, it will hands down outrun my 11 second NA 2005 S197. This car is freaking amazing. Now I have to upgrade the suspension to handle this turkey. Talk about squirrelly handling at speed!! Love this car...

Rob, as much as I like speed, I think the extra 15hp just isn't necessary UNLESS I start using the car as my primary racing machine. I was just as surprised to see a documented gain from o/r hpipe as anybody, and I think it clearly shows that the cats were the primary exhaust restriction, not the manifolds. They woke the car up a bit after the BOSS manifold raped my low end (pun intended). The gears seem sufficient for now at least. I just got into work and my commute is mostly twisty country backroads, and I had a blast. Frankly, for the cost of the headers, I can pick up a twin disk clutch for the 05 and get that raceworthy for the September events. Priorities man, priorities!
