You have the driver mod and I'm still on stock tune... I would get hurt for sure.

He would be fine with his mods. My car was fine with the ls6, air lid, udp, macs w/ory, ls6 intake. I'm sure he would pick up a little with a tune but not much. I only picked up about 4 or 5hp with my initial tune.

The worst part about his stock tune would be only turning it 6200rpm. But yea the pcm's can compensate for quite a bit in the realm he is in. Not optimal....but not terrible.

That's been bumped to 6600 using hp tuners. Before the long tubes on stock tune (shifting at 6k) it went 12.8 @ 110 on a 2.0 60ft... No idea what it will do now but it still feels like a turd. Tracks won't open for another month and a half so I just have to wait and see.

Guys should I get longtubes or keep trying with the stock craptastic logs? People have been having good luck with Pacesetters and they are a cheap option! Only 1 5/8 primaries but lets face it I have a 281cid monster.

I'd like to go 12.2 on stock logs but I'd also like more power!

I love the way headers make any car sound Plus it will probably give u decent gains. I am not familiar with 4.6s I had my 2V GT many years ago so I dont remember much

Headers. I think you are leaving power on the table with stock exhaust manifolds. I have Pacesetters on the V and have nothing but good words in regards to their quality and performance so far.

Pacesetters are awesome, I had quite a few on my various F bodies over the years and nothing but good things to say about the fitment, the durablility etc etc. Even have good ground clearance
