E55cent had a similar setup (milled down pulley, water injection, but no headers) and he was right at 400 to the wheels. Headers and exhaust certainly have to help. I'm guessing somewhere in the 430-450 range at the wheels. 550 at the wheels seems pretty optimistic but hopefully you will will prove me wrong.

No I meant the flow numbers on the bench. Ive heard a few try to "tweak" these intake mani's but haven't heard of any luck... yet! I was just curious of the improvement you got from before/after CFM. Hopefully with the better flow, it will help the shortcomings of the gen1.

After talking with andrew at attwood european i am not going to use any of the voltage clamps or fuel management devices sold to me by hps! this includes no fuel pressure regulator etc. I am going to let attwood flash the car for 8psi with dual water methanol injection before and after the S/C.
