Here is my Dyno graph from New Era Performance with it stock...prototype intake installed, and intake installed with tune. 30HP gain at the wheels! They said this was the biggest performance gain they ever got on an intake and tune with their dyno in any car. Not bad hahaha.

Too bad I didn't get to keep the intake, but I'll have it soon enough. I did get a tune which put me at 311HP/336 Torque...and some sickly fast shifts. Too bad its going to snow 2-4" tomorrow and I have to lose my summer tires :(

Meanwhile, in less exciting news, my car is no longer driving around town trunk-lid-less, and I now have a nice-non-leaky trunk with a new floorboard, jack, and wheel mounting stud. Yay! All this time I thought the leak was related to one of the two accidents my car has been in---but nope, it was a bad waterproofing job on the spoiler done at the factory. Here's to hoping I did it a little better!

Nice work...hopefully your spoiler doesn't fly off and hit the person behind you...unless they are driving a Saturn in which case feel free to lose your whole trunk lid, bumper, muffler, and while were at it, license plate too!

Dude, the spoiler is held on by six bolts. 'Taint going nowhere.

I thought you glued it? :)

Replaced the six dual-edged automotive bolts, nuts and washers--and also lined the surface of the spoiler that meets the trunk lid around the edge of the spoiler and at each bolt hole with liquid gasket material that dries to a rubber consistency and is waterproof.
