Default How much power......

do you think I would pick up with a set of long tube headers?

Right now the truck is totally stock as far as exhaust goes. All the numbers and computer point to it making around 620 flywheel hp like that. How much do you think the stock manifolds are holding it back at that level?

If your seriously thinking of doing this why don't you get your current tune the best you can[let's see what it can really do].Then go from there with more mods. 2 ?'s Is your only mod currently the blower and tune? Are you giving up on the new toy if your still wanting to mod your truck?


After Sat. I keep wondering if I should go to longtubes myself.

Getting your tune right first is a real intelligent reply, wish I could help you with that. Lt's obviously are going to help exhaust spent fuel, I gained a few mph and about 10/15rwhp over the shorts but I think they help at the track more than the dyno

Yeah, I am still working on the tune. That is not what this post is about though. I'm just kinda wondering how much others have picked up going from manifolds to long tubes on combos with similiar power.

Russ - I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the other thing but, I might work on the truck a little more. The air is getting so good right now.

Man it is going to be difficult to get a good answer to this because most do the headers before the blower.BUT if you want to buy me some longtubes I'll tell you how it does.
