My 86.5 (2618) is an AT with 166K miles on it, with all engine internals being stock. I only use good synthetic fluids for my eng and trans, and keeping her well managed always helps
My Mods:
Twinscrew Autorotor (2.0L) w/ 10lb Pulley
Cold Air Intake
Ott X-Pipe
30lb Injectors
LH SharkTuned
Keep in mind, I've spent a lot of time in the garage (with Tony) to get to this point, but with bolt on performance, it's amazing
As for cost's, you can go as high as you'd like

I know the results are posted in the OCIC Dyno thread, but this will keep my progress up to date Thanks for everyone that talked me into dynoing again, especially Shawn, who actually funded my runs
Basically the only thing that changed since my last dyno is a custom 2.5" exhaust system install. Not to mention the difference in elevation. Although she was running a little rich, I'm VERY happy with the results!
Rocket actually surprised me with the runs in TX...She put down 475.6 rwhp and 502.4 rwtq
I have to say that I think Rocket is one strong 86.5! Not to mention having 172,000 miles on her!
On the dyno sheet you'll notice no AFR, that's because there sensor kept blowing off other Sharks, plus I have a wideband read out in the car, so I told them not to bother. Also, the straight line run was a void.
Darian, I found out the hard way what you had in that beast on the way to Dynocom. I about spit my drink the way it roared and pulled. Wish I had had the chance for a ride. That is one well sorted car.
Sean, I went for a ride with Darien Thursday nite in the beast after dinner. He was looking for a car wash, I volunteered to co-pilot, with my GPS, looking for a car wash. Darn if we couldn't find one, I kept making believe I found one just to keep Darien driving me around. Darien, awesome car it feels stronger than the number show. Great work, inspirational.
