I have tuning to do, but the early results are pretty impressive. I used to only be able to run about 1+ (relative) degrees of advance at WOT, this morning I was +15 without ping. Flooring it from 30mph will toss you back into the seat.
This is the last mechanical step I want to take on my quest to pass 400hp at the crank. The rest now is tuning.

Sounds like some fun! So the stock 3.4L will actually stand up to 400hp?? I would think that would just tear it up. Oh, well all the more fun for you!
Would NOS be as good and about the same price? Seems like they both add power, both have to be refilled, ect...
And has anyone heard about CryO2 systems? They are used on some tuner cars. It used Co2 to cool the intake air down to near freezing (no it does not inject it into the intake, it is just used to cool it). It is a nice little mod people do down here in hot Texas, up north it doesn't do as much.
