Gains to expect out of Mac Headers? I've got a D-1SC Procharger on my car running 9psi and I'm still using stock manifolds and Y pipe. What kind of gains should I expect if I was to add a set of Mac headers with an offroad y pipe? Thats probably the next thing on my list before the heads and cam. I also heard that can lower your boost a couple psi???

Re: Gains to expect out of Mac Headers? With the offroad Ypipe and provided tuning and fuel volume/octane are adequate you could gain as much as 50-60RWHP with 9#s boost. Boosted motors benefit a lot more than NA motors from exhaust mods.

Re: Gains to expect out of Mac Headers? I havent had it dynod quite yet. I'm going to get it done at Car Craft in a few weeks. ATI claims with 9psi you should have 560 flywheel horsepower on a totally stock car so I better have at least that. Thanks for your replys guys.

Re: Gains to expect out of Mac Headers? 9lbs of boost hope your on 100 ocatane. GWP doesnt recommend that much boost without Headers to help and proper tuning. If your cars fine I should do the same been very hesistant.
