The end game is to get ported heads and a bigger cam. The mods installed so far will only enhance the performance of the head/cam combination. Driving the car, I don't really feel the loss down low. When the tune is dialed in the losses below 5,000 RPM will be minimal. What can be felt now, is how hard the car pulls past 5,500 RPM. With the stock intake manifold, even though it was ported by Pray Performance, the car felt flat above 5,500 RPM. If I spent the $1,500.00 expecting 20+ peak WHP gain, I would have been disappointed. When the tune is dialed in with the current setup, the 30 WHP gain at 6,500 RPM will have been worth it, to me. I know that all of the current modifications will help the motor to take advantage of the head/cam package that I install next year.
