Do you have a dyno from when the car was stock?

I don't have one when the car was stock
The green graph is with BFI & exhaust mod only.
The red one is with the addition of the headers and high torque merge collector.

What intake do you use? I have noticed that the throttle body is not the same size as the MAF tube. I was under the impression that you need an intake pipe in the MAF size and if you accidentally get one in the TB size your MAF will read incorrectly leading to a check engine light.

It's the stock intake with the BFI modification.
