I am willing to pay for it as well as it is valid.
Yea id have to see some dyno sheets or time slips to believe that. Over two decades of independent tests on those things that have shown nothing if not a loss in actual power....

Its like people claimed throttle controllers made the car quicker, and i dont doubt it changed the feel, but they havent added power on a dyno, nor have any 0-60s become any quicker.

Most of my tests have been done via time slips. Tryong something and seeing times consistently drop a few tenths. Then you know.

With all due respect, For those of us that have done testing on cars, kenny hit the nail on the head... most know you arent gonna gain 25 whp with the basic additions you added. Restrictions usually reduce power, or in the least stiffle off your top end. As said thats why we seek to get rid of em

Will be waiting to see what your before and afters show.

For tuner, as kenny has mentioned will at overkill, is a v6 go to with lgx experience. Ive talked to steve at rdp as well a while ago.

Applaud the efforts. Gluck with your goals.
