My car put down 668/711 @ 10lbs. before my exhaust swap. I changed out the whole exhaust system over the winter. It had Edelbrock headers, high flow cats and a Borla on it. Now it has Belanger headers, no cats and a Random Technology exhaust with Dynomax mufflers. I'm hoping to put down closer to 700 with a new intake system, 70mm TB's and my AEM. Soon it will also have new 2 piece rotors, McLeod twin disk and I'm probably going to change out the 3.55 gears for some 3.33 or stock 3.07 gears.

If you are looking to bump the power of your car I would consider going the head and cam route. Greg Good is the best in the business and he can get you a head and cam package that will rival what my car makes for power.

Video from the drive home

Anyone want to try to help me diagnose this noise? I went to a wedding last night and gave 2 friends a ride back to back. Nothing funny yet. About an hour later, I start it up to give the groom a ride and the noises started. I drove about a mile down the road and came right back since the noises didn't go away. The squeeling noise wasn't coming from the belt/pullies, but I couldn't pinpoint exactly where it was coming from. The car started to misfire on the way home. We put an OBD-II scanner to it and it's not pulling any codes. I tried to crank the car and now the car won't start and the CEL blinked a few times and then would go steady. My car is too low on KW V2s to get a jack under it to drain the oil and check for any metal.

Well, I'm at a crossroads...motor is definitely blown. Most likely the common #3/4 rod bearing, but the car tries to crank and then locks. I don't have the money to rebuild it ($10k+/-), but I don't know if I can get anything out of it if I sell it as is. My bad luck continues with cars...
