DC Performance has installed their ported heads this past week on my '08 and have achieved the hoped for bump of 30+ rwhp. But that's not all...
When at DCP's recent Dyno Day, they had one of their ported lower intake manifolds on display. Having just installed Arrow's ported manifold (which Arrow doesn't appear to be selling separately anymore) I noticed that DCP's intake porting looked much better, less sharp edges at the entrances to the runners, and cleaner down near the bottom of the runners. I'm thrilled that DCP offered to pull my newly installed intake and send it out for what we'll call a stage-2 porting. A very big thank you to Lyle Larson for personally driving my intake around town for a quick turnaround.
I have about 18k miles on the car, and have been using Torco for most of those miles once I had Dodge's performance controller installed. While I have had great success using Torco for 6+ years on my blown Vette without issue, Dan didn't like Torco's notorious deposits on my plugs, so he has swapped in some new plugs. He also said they noticed some timing getting pulled, so they will give me some race fuel before getting it back on the dyno.
Hopefully, my car will be back on the dyno tomorrow with the revised intake and fuel to see if she has anything more to give. For those of you who know DC Performance's dyno, you'll have a great appreciation to know that they have already gotten my Gen-IV up to about 600 rwhp, with potentially a little more to go ( fyi - I also have the full Belanger exhaust).
A little plug for DCP...I'm probably not DCP's traditional customer, as I always have a crap load of questions, and I like to stay close to anyone working on my cars. DCP did a great job installing my Belangers, Penske shocks, etc., a couple years ago, and they have continued to impress me with their attention to detail and great customer service. Of the many performance shops I have used over the years, I put DCP at the top for shops I trust.
Either DCP or I will post my final numbers shortly.

. It does have a little MMT, and as a result, discolors my plugs and exhaust tips. Attached is a Torco octane chart.
