IT WORKED: 3.0I to 3.0SI Conversion + Exhaust Vid

So it worked !!!!

Two things to consider:
1. The techs at the shop told me that for some reason they were unable to get the automatic transmission to work as they wanted.
2. They did not have a big fan which they said affected the readings (especially with the RPI scoop when I'm going 65+ mph)

^^ Both the above things considered he was sure the engine is actually putting out 10 more bhp then what the sheet shows.

Anyways, enough of the crying and cribbing ... with 18% Drive train loss -->

270HP and 246ft-lbs

List of Mods:
1. Manifold Conversion - $200
2. SS Race Muffler - USED $600
3. AA Tune - $299
4. RPI Scoop - $100 (Didn't make a difference in the dyno pulls)

I think its done quite well especially when an extra 10bhp puts me at 280HP at the crank.

A big thanks to -C- for the DIY.
