Do you have a 3.0 or a 3.5? You can't just start a thread and leave people with little info.

Sorry for the vaugeness. It's a 3.5l. The acceleration is a bit more responsive and the sound has a nice growl. Have pics just need to figure out how to attach to post.

You only get 20 more HP when you put the sticker on the fender panel in front of the door.
