I do want to memorialize my mods and the proven BHP for 'Dave' - keep in mind my 3.2 has never been opened, good compression tests and 132,000 mi, your results may vary.
I exclusively use Chinese oil filters and Venezuelan oil.
Decat pipe 21 bhp
Stock exh cut open, cut up, welded back up 8 bhp
Cup air box 13 bhp
Enlarged TB 15 bhp
Extrude Hone intake 2.9 bhp
Clean air filter 7.1 bhp
SW Chip +/- 67 total
Round off or up with over rev 70 BHP

I'm glad you enjoyed seeing them. Brought my white '87 last year and my Gemini '87 in '23. Was hoping to have my '89 done in time for this year, but that's looking unlikely. For the first time in a long time, I'm not bringing a car this year.
That's a HELL of a power kit you have there! Subjectively tho, how's the drivability? I'd be worried that all that extra BHP comes in only below idle speed (or is it only above redline?).
Speaking of devolving, I believe this thread has arrived. Apologies to the OP.
Quasi back on topic, I love the objective power gains on my SW chipped & tuned cars, but I LOVE the driveability even more. Smoother and more powerful... Two great tastes that go GREAT together.
