I might as well post this to the list also. I've added just about every
bolt on mod to this TPI that you can. DIY Ram Air, 52mm TB, portmatched
intake, SLP Tri-Y headers (great torque, but I'm selling them for my
twin turbos) and a 3" catback are the major mods. The stock TPI is as
optimized as it'll get w/o any more new parts. Full mod list etc at
http://www.eecs.tufts.edu/~askulte/htmls/camaro.html 

What does spinning fast have to do with anything? My torque peaks at
3000 rpm and hp peaks at 4250 and is dead after 5000, thanks to TPI. I
do love that torque though!
