1. I really like the look, i didn't want something OEM looking. I wanted people to notice that i had something different.
2. Currently not on the Edelbrock CARB tune. Thats the tune that comes with the kit and is rated at around 240-250 whp.
3. On the Delicious Flash n Go tune being custom tunes by Zach from Delicious tuning, I'm expecting to hit probably 270-280 who after the tune is complete.
4. LOTS of low end torque on this kit. I've had to learn to feather the throttle a bit when i get going in first gear.
5. Gas mileage went down only slightly from 29 mpg to about 26 mpg.
6. The build quality is solid, while there were a lot of little parts, the kit itself is super solid from what i could tell.
I'm currently running 91 California Shell. But i know people have been able to hit about 300hp on this kit running E85. If you do go that route, you WILL need bigger injectors which can be quite costly.
Hope this helps

What exhaust set up are you running? [just seen it underneath your post, sorry, ignore. I would say that hoping to hit 270-280 with the stock manifold on pump gas seems a bit optimistic to me, but I hope you get there!]
