Update
Now that I'm fully bolted on the exhaust side, I think it's a good time to get dynod to see where I'm at. There is a dyno day with a local company two weeks from now that I will be attending to see where I stand. Today I ordered all parts for my 105k service. I needed to spend a little bit more to get free in store pickup so I dished out for the ZDX throttle body. After dynoing later this month, I'll start on the intake side of things with the ZDX throttle body, 3.7 intake manifold, and have gerzand port and polish everything for me. Will likely dyno again at that point, and then get FlashPro and get tuned.
It's going to be interesting to see what I dyno with just full RV6 exhaust.

dynapack should make your path to 300 easier. Those read higher than dynojets even.
Do you know what your base power numbers are on a dynapack? For me it isn't so much about the number 300 so much as the difference between stock and fully bolted-on.

Ended up melting a little bit of my CV boot today so had to place another order and to eclipse the free shipping price point I went ahead and just ordered the 3.7 IM and the rest of the required hardware.
Last few remaining bolt-on mods are the 4" CAI, lighweight stock sized crank pulley and lightweight flywheel (if you consider that a bolt on).
I'm going to be replacing my clutch within the next week or two as well with likely a spec stage 3 cltuch and lightweight flywheel.
Ordered new OEM spark plugs and bank 1 sensor 1 O2 sensor due to CEL.
Getting closer to Flashpro + tune.

I think the majority of gear heads tend to view SAE corrected Dynojet 224 or 248 numbers to be the most "accurate". But in reality, "accurate dyno" is kind of an oxymoron when you factor in all the different readings from brand to brand and even among the same brand. As long as you're using the same dyno each time and it's properly calibrated, you're able to accurately gauge progress. That's all that matters.

Going to burn yourself out man. Then one day you'll wake up and be tired of your car.

Sent an offer of $250.00. I do not know these folks but it came right away.

That Airaid master kit is steep. I ordered just the 4" tubing from Jeg's for like $100 (still steep) and then an AEM 7" filter for around $40. Got clamps, couplers, reducers from siliconeintakes.com. Think my total outlay was around $190 for everything.

^^^ You can get the 4" cai system for about $120 up to $150 if you get an expensive filter. That includes EVERYTHING. I know, I've built them. Though I will say I lost my work computer and I no longer have the url to the places I bought from.

Yeah, I could've gotten metal instead of the Airaid and saved some money, but I like the stealth look and hopefully lower temps of the Airaid. Hell, even AEM sells build your own intake piping now!

Btw my piping is aluminum so it does better with heat than steel and is lighter and easier to cut. I have mine pained a matte black that looks good and helps with reducing heat soak.

Update
Installed my 3.7 IM, TB, and runners yesterday. We forgot to plug the fuel rail back in for the rear bank and had cylinder misfires on 1 and 5 
. Only took backing it out the garage to realize that. Runs great. I have recently just put on my 255/40 tires and was unable to chirp tires in second anymore but I'm back to being able to do so (unfortunately).
I dyno this weekend! Wish I had my aluminum flywheel and spec stage 3+ clutch installed but I won't. 300whp

He has the Rv6 TD. I still don't think he'll reach 300 though.

Tuned is a different story. And coming out to what?

Nah tuning will actually utilize all those bolt ons properly and make that curve much better. Plus that extra HP will be what gets you over 300. IMO
And shit I totally forgot. I'll try. Isn't it suppose to rain all weekend?
