Cheek out the Mighty Car Mods videos, they tested a range of aftermarket filters on a range of cars fitted in a range of ways. and found none improve power (except K&N Panel Filter) even if you knock the headlight out. To my suprise a $20 Supercheap Pod made more than a $140 Pod, but both were less than a stock airbox. The only way they had managed to get the Pod to produce more power was to plumb it 3 metres infront of a car with a fan directly infront pumping air into it. Ill post the video links later.
Cheers Mitch.

Who fitted the cams and tuned it?
Ive heard of others going over 300rwkw with similar mods thats all.

They did say they were surprised at the reading, and couldn't find anything engine related that would have caused it, and there were no issues with compression. The only thing they could find to comment on was after replacing the O2 sensors that one bank reading slightly different than the other, but said with the age of the vehicle they'd see that on 9/10 cars they look and it was most likely due to a slight leak, and wouldnt have caused the kind of low reading the car was giving. In any case there is an engine rebuild on the cards in the next 12 months, so I'll sort that out sooner or later.
300rwkw NA is my first target for the car, but it'll be a few more paydays yet... Dont suppose anybody wants out there needs websites/software written so I can afford it quicker. Or maybe when my 3d printer arrives I'll start selling custom plastic trim pieces.

I'm just determined to keep this particular car looking as close to factory as possible- gotta hate having an emotional attachment to a car.
I might change my mind and want to go down the blown path later on, but if I do that it'll most likley be when i can afford to pick up a reasonably priced 2nd hand FG and pimp that.
