Damn 65k for an 03 or 04? Thats a bit pricey considering the lack of options. Hope the HP is worth it

+1, I'm with you on that I thought I was at 600hp with my SL and I had the ECU/TCU upgrade and a 168mm pulley installed and I dont believe that I am at 600hp maybe if i'm lucky I might be at about 550 to 570 there is still more work to be done with these cars before U get 600hp ask Havoc he knows the deal.
