Long tube Gaines, Is it worth it?
Posting this as a question for everyone who has done long tunes. What number did you have before and after and would you do it again? I've heard both sides so far and am looking for proven noticeable Gaines.

It seems down low they significant gains but up top there isnt much. I would just do a Intake, Tune, and X/H pipe and call it a day. The headers and Boss Intake might net you a few more ponies but it really isnt worth the price. Spray it.

I have jba's on my car. Notice more higher rpm horse power and a better pull. I dont have before or after horsepower numbers. But I would do it again.

Everything I've heard is the best gains come with a boss mani, helps get your low end power back.

Not bad actually. Doing them both at the sametime makes it hard to tell if it was the cat deletes or the Headers.

The long tubes don't add a ton of power, for best results get a boss intake.
The Boss manifold achieves higher gains in high rpm but you lose some power on the low end, I have been told the LT's help get some of the low end power back. That's what Midnight11 told me, he has the setup.

How can you say that. You raced Zeek and beat him by a fender correct? I cant see spending that much cash for a Fender. Just my opinion.
