Horsepower?
Hey, i'm just curious to the kind of hp the v6's in this chat have. Minus the use of nitrous, just other mods. I haven't gotten a chance to do much with mine yet, except for k&n air filter, because i've been too busy trying to make the car drivable, lol, don't ask. Anyway, i'm guessing mine to be around 145 maybe. Well, what do the rest of you have?

Graeme, along those lines, I bet I have 100 HP... 
You guys see that "East Coast Camaro/Firebird National" deal, for August 4th, at Englishtown Raceway Park (New Jersey)? I think I'm going to go... the best part is, if you pre-reg for $45, you get some dyno runs in!
