I installed a blower on my car last fall- and then spent all summer chasing down small vacuum leaks, until a couple weeks ago.
It was a 3 hour drive to Performance Dyno, first time shes ever been on a trailer since it arrived at the dealer new
The setup- full exhaust, and a stock 3.8 longblock with a M112 pushing 7psi through a 4R70 (power sucker)
First runs, on 93-

The outcome
230/252. Not bad for stock everything and low boost- about 70hp over stock. But could be more.
And so I did more.
In goes the E-85
And then...

Result- 35hp gain and 14tq
Not bad!
It pulls good now! Next step? I have a 3.4 pulley that will net 10ish PSI. But for now, i think it will be enjoyed a bit before it gets the new heads, intake, and cam along with a forged shortblock so it can take 18+psi. Until then, its getting coilovers, and borrowing Timsponys Bogarts for a track pass or two!
Also, in before 'sounds like shit'. Its a V6, it has an even firing order, moving on.
