I'm looking at some TOG Headers btw. Tyburne Motorsports (Site Sponsor) has good prices on them and others.

Fist about the size of a half gallon of Ice Cream Carton

I run my HPPIII at +4 on the 1-2 shift, +12 on the 2-3 shift, and +0 on the 3-4 shift also. It knocked 5 tenths off my ET with the HPPIII alone, no BS!

What about forgoing the headers and getting some nitrous. I dont mean to hijack your thread but a 75 shot would cost about the same as a good set of headers and push you much harder then the headers would.

i spent 330 shipped for mine they work great i can only imagine what a set of long tubes would do. thanks for the complament. i was told that with a custom tune i should be running somehwere in the low 14's hopefully. god i hope their right. april 3rd going to the track to get some times with my mods now. will also have a set of underdrive pulleys on also. then after i get those times i am geting a custom tune by nelson. and i am going to see how big the difference is. im hoping for a big one.

I'd ditch the hypertech and get a tuned PCM, awesome difference

I'm very impressed with the Wester's. Before I started researching I was all set to buy a diablo, till I read it's only good for one truck. The truck really woke up with the Wester's, could spin the tires through 3 gears on wet pavement, burnouts, plus it litterly launched off the line compared to before. I got my truck on Dec 23, so there is no times yet (they won't let me race with the skidoo's on the lakes for some reason). The Wester's is more money but the best part is you get a full credit towards a new PCM if you ever change vehicles. Better then what you're going to get when you sell the Hypertech.

I don't believe in bashing tuners. I went with Wester's cause it had everything I wanted.

Wester's or Nelson's, you'll be happy either way.
