Your average HP after redlining 1st gear are definitely good gains for the track.

The weird thing is it didn’t do this before the cams & headers... Its hard to describe in words - you really have to drive it to know what I mean... and since you drove it before, the only thing I can say is it's back to that off idle torquey launch with a bit more oomph - so its much more fun to drive now (like it was before but better )
I almost think the cams & headers were worth it now... cost benefit, probably not - but I look forward to driving the car again now!
I'll know this Sunday how well it does... the one thing I'm anxious to do is WOT to 7500! Even with spirited street driving before the car pulled hard down low, decent mid and fizzled in the high rmp... Now during spirited street it keeps pulling - I don’t know where it fizzles because I always have to let up - I havn't gone to 7500 but at 7K its still pulling

Dyno numbers wont change since the only thing we did today was fix the stuff down low - 1K-3K... that wont register on the dyno. So I'll probably pull 290-295hp and 260ish trq.
The number I'm anxious to see is ET this Sunday!

there are a couple more little tricks I'm going to so that actually might help... the headers heat intake temps horribly!!! REALLY bad! Shawn suggested some insulating material that I'm going to get tomorrow from a place in Signal Hill and wrap the MAF housing, back of heat shield, bottom of snorkel and whatever else I can... it ridiculous how hot it gets now
