2006 6MT = 3483
I know
2004 ... but I have the 2006 specs at my finger tips.
3483 Lbs - 345 Lbs = 3138 Lbs
3483 Lbs / 3138 Lbs = 1.10994 Factor
Assuming 250 WHP, then
250 WHP x 1.10994 Factor = 277.5 WHP
277.5 WHP - 250 WHP = 27.5 WHP Increase
But, please remember that this is misleading because you gained everywhere in the powerband, not just peak hp like most engine mods. A fair comparision might be something like a 29 whp increase.
Rule of thumb is 100 lbs is 0.1 second quicker in 1/4 mile. And, 10 HP is 0.1 second quicker.
So by weight, you are approx 0.3 sec quicker in 1/4 mile.
Or by equivalent hp increase, you are 0.3 sec quicker.
So, it jives either way.

I can't Bore the TB since it will need a new butterfly. Only Maxbore or Kingmotorspot can do that. The IM I can only do the first few inches unless you want to cut the IM in half. There was a big thread about it.

^^^V3 J-Pipe, PnP, IM & TB spacers...looking to do the UR Pulley in the next few weeks with a hybrid UCM and really want to do PCD/HFPC's but wanna be able to do it myself so I can replace them as needed for the sniffer.
I wish there was some sort of an easily removable insert for the sniffer that would allow us Cali folks to pass but I'm sure I'll eventually talk myself into swapping every two years.

Unplug (or block off the port to) the IACV, see if the surging stops. If it does, the IACV is probably dirty. If not, you have a vacuum leak. Id look at the gaskets on that throttle body spacer.
Unless you mean its surging when you turn an accessory on, but you shouldnt have any accessories if youre on a diet
