Maybe over a stock exhaust but I think it would be closer to maybe 20hp. My gto had 3 inch dual exhaust with no cats and slp bullet mufflers so it wasn't restricted at all.

Wow, I thought hiding the true cost of the kleemann install was hard! LOL, a new engine in another car, she would be on me like white on rice! Good luck! Wish I could drive out to watch you guys. Half thought of staying with Clayton or BK but I think the drive from cbus is longer then I thought.

I'm going to look into it some. I dont know if supercharged cars might like it more or not. I know from my own experience it didnt help in the past. Just sounded good but was there a torque trade off the that power and where did it make it at?

Hmmm, that's a good idea. What is a close airport near Clayton? I suppose I could rent a car real quick. Give me an airport name and I will look into it.

Just got off the phone with Andy, I am gonna ride over with him. Unless his SL is not done in time. Thanks for the airport info. I always find the track stuff cool since I am completely clueless. Plus I admire the fact you guys rent a track as opposed to street race.

If you cant pay for it now don't use a credit card. I've got so many friends that have paid $10k on $5k worth of parts because they can't pay the card off and keep paying interest on the account.
