I would have thought maybe the 210-215 range with your setup, but hey at least you are still in the game! Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, not sure exactly what might be holding it back. The 3.0 is most likely a very high-mile block (digital odometers in the junkyard, so can't know for sure). And my tuner was commenting about the huge amount of MAF turbulence he was dealing with, so that may play a part. Also with the true Borla exhaust, it's a 2.25" pipe; I think I'd certainly pick up a little with a 2.5" exhaust. But I'm totally happy driving it now - it picked up about 25 HP in the mid-range, right at around 4000, which is where I need it on the course.
