Looking forward to a dyno chart showing your new found power.

bingo bingo bingo.... this isn't a guess, it WILL happen on the stock mounts, the engine moves around WAY to much with the added Tq, HP. i watched mine on the dyno and could not believe how much the engine was lifting up, easily enough to compromise the hood.
