What kind of proof Darren , never dyno'd it but my Aeroforce Scan Gauge before headers, 42.5 injectors and a proper tune was reading 363 crank HP. Now I have it tuned for the mods I have plus headers, so should be sitting around 400 crank.

Wait, you've never dyno'd the car but you're making claims off a little gauge?

Erm... no. A dyno is the only place that gives you the ability to say "I make this much horsepower". Until then, it's 100% speculation.

Hell, I've been speculating for years.

Kidding right...

No, not at all, no reason it should be putting out that much, I have a LOT into it, you saw it when you sold me the boost gauge

I remember seeing it. But it was a regular grand Prix with an intake.
Remember this... Raven put down 267 to the wheels with the same amount of mods as you, and that was through a 5 speed. I would say that you have roughly 250-260 to the wheels. Calculate for 15% powertrain loss = 287-302 to the wheels. But hey, prove me wrong. Bull@!#$ ends on the rollers...
