Who can estimate my L's horsepower
Here in Germany it is very difficult to find a garage, where I can dyno my L. Maybe some of you can estimate what horsepower my L has. I've got the following mods:
- K&N CAI
- C&L Upper plenum
- Accufab single throttle body
- 4# lower pulley
- Brisk spark plugs
- Flowmaster Catback
- RWTD custom tunes
Give me your opinions!!!
Maybe someday I find a garage, then will I tell you the results.

OFF TOPIC:
what types(octane) of gasoline are offered in Germany?
about how much in US dollars per gallon?
There is a slim possibility that I could end up working there in the future. My office has a position in Bahn that I may be eligable for if I stick around a while.
Thanks.

1litre VPower is 1,22€ = 1,59$
So I thing 1 gallone is 6,02$ here in good old Germany.
(1 gallon = 3,7853 litre)
There is also a fuel called 'Super Plus' with 98 German octane it costs 1,08€ = 1,41$

I use the Shell VPower it has 100 octane, James from RWTD built my tunes for it. But he also told me that there are differences between European octane and US octane (RON and RAN or something like this).

Our octane is (RON+MON)/2 while theirs is just RON.

Port the Eaton, and change the catback to a Magnaflow and you'd be over 400.

Maybe next year or someone can give me a tip, where I can do it here in Europe.
I hate Germany for the fuel prices, the less dynos and the car garages, they only tune ricers, BMW, Mercedes and VW, but not the best trucks on earth.

Seriously, you have access to one of the top tuners for the L's that most others don't. My L probably could have made over 400 without the port job if I had 93 / 94 Octane gas (which I don't) and one of the big 3 or 4 vendors to fine tune things for me. It's the same boat our friend from Germany is in, as well as a whole bunch of us in the states. This is why when one of the Big Tuners goes out to another state and sets up temporary shop, people flock to the event.

Remember all these numbers are at the rear wheels.
Definitely PORT the Eaton, HUGE DIFFERENCE.
Talk to APTEN
http://www.apten-us.com/
They were going to have an exchange program.
Perhaps Apten can take a deposit and ship you out a ported Eaton, when you receive it, you swap superchargers and send them your stock one. When Apten receives it they credit you back your deposit.
Remember you may need gaskets if you tear them.
Also, this is a GREAT TIME to:
Remove and clean the intercooler
Clean the intake and Throttlebody
Add a phenolic spacer
Keep us posted!
