I actually just tested this app that in conjunction with a bluetooth OBDII plug-in will tell you your horsepower while driving. You can do a before and after comparison to see what you're actually getting (or losing). I wrote something about it in the bolt on section if you're interested.

You've already broken warranty so you might as well cut your loss now, sell this stuff and get a blower. Trust me when I tell you, you wake up to Christmas morning every single day you step into that car. It's night and day and I didn't even go crazy with mine. I know you're not going to listen to me and buy a ported throttle body next, but hey I had to try lol

A blower sounds good but im not fixing to drop 8k into this car im happy with the way it is nothing major but their is a hug difference in this setup over my stock one

Same here did you modify the camaro plate to go back on or did you just leave them off

If i had 8k+ i would
