    Add some timing, if you can get up 3-6* over stock on the current pulley and you are heading to a dyno anyway, then pulley down and run both configurations to compare at the dyno. I'm guessing you have larger injectors and at least headers if you're running a 3.0 now on ethanol...

    i bought the car with these mods headers,cai,exhaust,3" pulley and there seems to be a mild cam in there but i dont know the specs, i measured the lift as close as possible with a dial indicator on the rocker arms

    i ported the blower and opened up the lim, added 60lb injectors, and switched to e85 now
    i was making about 13psi before i ported the blower and lim

    btw whats your take on swapping the tb and maf, will i see much gain
