Hp gains on longtubes

...this topic has once again been beaten into the ground...

Go LT or don't do any headers...simply put. LT's and a tune will probably net you around 30-50whp conservatively.

i dunno about HP, but i dropped 3 tenths in the quarter mile with only the addition of long tubes.

I think he means he shaved another 3 tenths off his 1/4.
