I have Manley +1mm valves, JWT S7 cams and springs and was not asking for any help getting more power.
I am losing power to my exhaust because I want a car I can live with. I gave away my AP Ti exhaust to make it quieter.
I have everything I need/want.
If you look at his posts you will see a theme of TC.
Also, SG has a one off intake and they spent 10,000 hours getting huge cams into the heads.
With the cutout open I am sure I can get 10-20 HP/LB back when I want it.
The way it is now is awesome and I am very happy with my livable 300 hp daily driver.

e30,
You don't know how happy I was to see this thread after being away for a little while....so glad you didn't give up on it & super-glad you are enjoying your ride exactly the way you wanted it! That certainly is most important, for sure.
Considering all of the obstacles you went through to get the motor in your car just right, I would certainly agree with you that this is nothing short of a Christmas miracle!
Enjoy sir!

We are not friends, if you feel the need to crap on threads go elsewhere.
I built this motor 100% the way my needs dictated. It gives me what I want which is a powerful daily driver that has an acceptable (TO ME) amount of NVH. I traded some power for a quiet exhaust which rules out long tubes and by the way, the ART pipes made great gains on the Megan headers nearing long tube numbers.

I tried to be helpful, but whatever, some people have more money than sense. Enjoy your car.

As I said. I built the motor for my needs and to get as much power as I could while limiting NVH.
I succeeded and am enjoying my car.
Here is the cutout with the old motor.
