But the headers are awesome. Also Matt helped tweak my tune so I'm sure he'd be more than happy to tune yours if you had a different exhaust. I will give it to edelbrock for having a massive intake. I'm sure something like the perrin would work too.

My ultimate performance goal on this car is 0-100kmh in 5.0-4.8 Sec
The number produced by stage 2.3 (91 Octane) is embarrassing... Very embarrassing, no way around it, I was hoping for something better... at least 230-240 WHP.

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

1- That helps a lot thank you
2- Wow 270-280 on 91 Fuel and on stock internals and normal engine compression? that would be great, if verified I'll go for E-Force.
3- for the look part it will go really well with my red Gt 86... I don't mind the look what I do mind (a bit) is the fact it sits the highest among all three.
Thanks again

By wanting just a nice number for not a particular reason other then "I have 300 HP bro" is so wrong on so many levels. But lets say our brain is playing tricks and just want a nice number. How about this? Horsepower is a retarded ancient unit same as inches and so, why not to opt for civilised target of 200 kW? 200 kW is very nice number as well, is a normalised unit and is 268 HP. You have a nice number, on better units and you can keep you internals and money significantly more save.
How about that?

As I mentioned in the beginning of this reply...
My ultimate performance goal on this car is 0-100kmh in 5.0-4.8 Sec
(Yes I do care about acceleration in a straight line, lots of Highways where I live, I also enjoy the precise cornering-ability on this car and the amazing steering feel too, otherwise I wouldn't go and buy the same car after my "2013 Toyota 86 S" one got totaled while sitting outside my house, now I have a 2016 Nur-Spec Toyota GT86)
I feel (Yes gut feeling only, No science) that such number will not be achievable with less than 300WHP.. that's where the 300 came from... add to that in the last 12 years I never owned anything but V8's the reason I jumped to the 86 wagon is the out-of-the-box handling and the size of the after market upgrades available.
