This will be on top of Dinan exhaust, throttle body, air flow sensor and stage 4 engine and transmission software so some of the mods in place will facilitate in and out flow. We will know but end of day Friday if we get what we expect with some safety margin for the bottom end as we are not modifying anything more than already in place.

Great! Waiting in anticipation for updates. :)

I've also run many wires thru that firewall plug (6 x 12-gauge, and 4 x 14-gauge) and resealed the hole with spray foam sealant (the last time with Loctite Fireblock Foam, whereas I used Great Stuff Pestblock Foam the first time, but couldn't find it again at Home Depot).

I needed expanding foam to seal the ever-enlarging hole from water and insect/rodent intrusion, and or flames (hope not!), because my X is never garaged, and I'd rather be safe from those hazards. I suppose that I could've sealed it with a neater-appearing effort than a glob of spray foam (at least I painted it black), but whatever works....
