You might gain 10-15 ft-lbs after spending a grip getting there. Just re-gear it and rev the **** out of it.

Edit - Take a look at the Motordyne manifold as well. It'll cost you a few hp on top. but gives a noticeable boost in midrange.
You are a wealth of info. I appreciate your help. I have no plans to FI. My days of turbo/SC are over. Anything i can do to stay na is my goal. That combined with tracking it.
