I will be tuning. With help from a friend. Might bring it to janetty if we need something like a tune with meth since he uses HP tuners.

No need for 02's. don't think janetty knows sd tuning.

Curts car was tuned a long time ago. Sd is fine.

The stuff is expensive but treadstone had the best price by far for it all.

I used 2" pipe so the price doesn't compare but I just looked and treadstone was $4 more per long radius 2.5" 90. They are cheaper on short radius though.

I never really was shooting for a HP I would be happy with 750whp but seems like that will be not a hard thing to do with similar combos

Yeah that's what i figure to. i also have a lq4 with tu2 cam and I'm trying to decide between s475 or the s480 like you. What's the main reason you chose the 80 over the 75? Jw

Well a couple reasons i went with the s480 is one the 130lbs per min

Other was I wanted something that would be good for this somewhat "Stock" motor and will tear **** up when i build the next lq4 to a 418 or something along those lines......
