Noticed this performance section is lacking and figured id share.

SW 1 7/8 LT's install




Went with the cats for now, but ill eventually order the the delete pipes. Car runs swell.

nice how bad was the install? been looking at jba 1 7/8 header

how much did you gain. been wondering how much power you would gain with those since the 5.0 already has a shorty type header

SW headers, excellent choice

With a lift and air tools about 4 hours. Nothing impossible, but does require a few people especially when putting the new headers in.

With cats id say roughly 20HP, but it picked up more low end than anything.
I did a o/r x with my previous 11 6M car and while cost/gain is best with this option, you cant beat the sound 5.0's make with a headers.

with the kooks catback the car made 370HP 332TQ through a 6A
headers, kooks, and airaid and TSM tune 391HP 371TQ.

Thanks to PLASMAN i have recently moved to VMP tune . Lets just say that my previous tune was less than worthy.

Justin does a great job with mail order tunes. I used him for my first runs when I bought the car and ran 12.10s at 115 through the stock air box and muffler deletes. I'm considering making the trip to Deltona and let him install the blower.

Took a little to get the tune, and i had some trouble in the beginning with it throwing lean codes. Turns out he tunes for the insert in the intake and i had taken it out when i was tuned at TSM.

Good air and a DR and car should see 11's.

You the same guy on DFWstangs that was tuned @ HPP at one point?

I see a dropped Race Red one around all the time, but that's about it. I drive around quite a bit on the weekends.
