PM me

Intake, resonator removed, and lightning MAF. I didn't get a big horsepower increas (1-2) but driveability improved tremendously. It pulls real hard all the way through 5th gear now. If you or anyone else is interested in it let me know. I'm going to be going the Xcal route. Thanks. Mike "You might beat me in a straight line, but I'll embarass you in the turns"

Sorry for all the ?'s I would believe those numbers to be possible but its gonna take more than adjusting the a/f. I am going the Xcal route because I'm doing something that requires the adjustability. It smoothed it out because SVT's, in my experience, SVTs run rich. When you lean out the top end, you get more punch and less bogging. I'll let some of the experts jump in and try to explain this better.
