I only tested once but I missed the stop button it said 7 something then it got to 9 before I realized I missed the button(gotta love a touch screen) so yeah it's between 7-9 now. What do you think about putting a Pontiac GT Ram Air Intake behind my grill running to my air box. Any ideas what that would do performance wise?

Dyno have shown 3-4hp with ram air intakes. But keeping the air cool is a positive thing as well. I like the idea for sure if nothing else than originality.

It's cool to say you have haha and burgle fly wise I didn't change that, I homed out the from and back an inch but I didn't touch the center. I lapped the manifold out about 1 1/2 inches to match the throttle body. It allows more air flow all around and when you match the back and the maifold the spread is better and you get more straight flow and it's not restricted. Butterfly may not be bigger but more air can come in the front so it is more compressed going through the butterfly.

If you didnt change the butterfly you have an improved flow stock size 52 mm tb. Swap to a 3400 tb or a intrigue 3.5 tb

I've thought about that, but 3.4 throttle body won't hook up the sensors are different because the 3.4 is an OBD II engine vs my OBD I

Running stock AC delco coil packs everything stock but the Air Filter and Exhaust lol and the throttle body will fit from further research, but you have to cut a lot of it off the back because there's a pipe that runs under the 3.1 but not the 3.4 and mine uses MAP instead of MAF. Gotta admit 30-40mpg and this car has at least 240 hp and about 270 torque with stock parts.
