Louisiana Z/Import cookout April 29th *Lakefront*

Well I installed my popcharger after work yesterday. First impression was "Wow, I can't be I waited so long to do this. It's like an instant 100hp. Imagine this with 150 shot." Okay, so I'm lying. On a serious note, I may have gain a little but it's so hard to tell when you gain power so minor. I do think I gain a little though. It looks so much better than the stock box. I went for a ride after installing it. It was at about 7:30ish last night so it was kinda cool out, much cooler than noon. It sounds great to me. There's a little deeper sound and a whistle in the lower rpms. It produces a louder, deeper sound when getting into the higher rpms. Overall, I'm pleased with it. We'll have to wait and see if I have actual gains from this or not on the dyno. I want fuction over form so if I lose power, I will be putting back on the stock box. Here are some pics.

a 05 non-revup is sitting in my buddies shop.. 6k miles on it.. gonna buy it and put it in storage that way if i ever decide to go FI or spray, i have a backup...
I am getting rid of my intake due to heatsoak. gonna replace it with a stillen intake. Bradley wants my K&N setup and is gonna fab something together to work with this stock air box but needed an extra MAF housing for the flange. So when i get that other engine i was gonna give him the housing.
