HPTUNNERS AND LT'S W/Magnaflow Exhaust
My 02 z28 was tuned with HP Tunners it has long tubes on it with no cats and a Magnaflow exhaust system. My question is, if I run the car at the track with open headers will this change the tune ? Will I mess up anything? I would like to get rid of the Magnaflow exhaust system and go to a true daul set up that I can remove quickly at the track so I can run open headers. Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks

Hope that helps.

what's the point of altering your setup if you're not going to compensate for it with a tune? is it going to work? sure, but not as well if you did get it tuned with your 'track' setup. the stock computer is pretty good with altering itself to smaller changes, but it takes time, and it's not as perfect as it could be.

I'm just at Headers and true duals with a self ported TB and a descreened MAF...
some would say that this isnt worth tuning for yet...but here I am tuning it in...
I see a big difference with just my simple mods...its amazing how much you really do get out of mods when you tune for them...
people are seeing 7-8 rwhp with a lid...I'll bet you could squeeze out a little bit more ponies with some fine tuning on the tune...hell...I'm going to try it when I buy my lid or when I custom fab my intake
