My car is still at Joe Donovans. I got held up with some issues and had to order some different parts(Long Story). Yesterday he put my car on the dyno for a very short time. The good news is we are at 741hp on pump gas. The bad news is a head gasket blew. I still had the orig. head gasket(96) on the car so it was time to change them anyway. Joe seemed to think that we may be able get 800HP. He said the curvs were awsome. He was amazed to see this type of power out of a gen I. I just wasnt planning on spending MORE money on the head gasket. By the way, I feel very lucky that I decided to go with Joe Donovan. This guy is a class act and very fair. He felt pretty bad about about the head gasket and is giving me a great deal at replacing them.
Are your heads still stock? If so, I have a set of custom Gen I heads flowing 320's on the intake (at .600), and I believe 250 on the exhaust(need to find the flow chart to be sure). Just done, PM me if you're in need...............
Also, Joe D knows me and I would be willing to send them to him for inspection for his ok prior to purchase.
The rumor is that the 3 has IAT maps. IAT issue was to blame for the historic V-notch problem. this would help alleviate it. but that is just the rumor...

What problem is that? Is that the dip at 2500rpms or so?
It is also just a flash program that can be added to the VEC2. Do the cars suffer from "hot mode" like the trucks? Anytime that IAT sensor picks up temps ov 205 or above the PCM pulls a bunch of timing. The new VEC programming is supposed to help with this.
