I couldn't fix your brakes, so I made your horn louder

I'd be willing to bet it's significantly more than 5hp... and fyi, i paid 35 shipped for mine.

It's not worth the extra 5hp to me for the costs/noise addition of a test pipe.

5HP you dont know what you are talking about, noise still the same to me.

As it is normally, I am usually at about 1000-1100 when cruising at 65mph and rarely go over 1250 on the EGT even at full boost. With the upped Octane, I am at 1200 when cruising on a straight flat freeway.

Octane booster? If you're talking about the little bottles you buy at Wal-mart/Autoparts store, you aren't getting more then 3-4 points tops, so if you use 91-octane FOUR "points" would be 91.4-octane.

Don't count on that helping DETONATION. Dump in a gallon or two of 100-octane with your 91-93 pump gas for some REAL points. Also, if you had pre-ignition, you wouldn't be driving it anymore.

Hmmm.

I'll spend some more time this weekend looking for any misalignments/exhaust leaks some more.

Gotta do my brakes anyway - so may as well.

I didn't realize that octane booster stuff was so worthless....guess It's all psychological. I'll keep a better eye on the EGT on the next tank.

ANy other suggesstions on the power loss?

Thanks everyone!
