Default Header Tune?

I posted this in General too...

Well theoretically I ran a 2000 FRC on the highway from 60. His mods are the twin cone intake and a&a exhaust mod.

Now my mods are in my sig and I figured that I really would not have any problems taking a near stock FRC.

I let the guy ride in mine and he says that my low end is much stronger then his but when we ran we were pretty close up top.

Does this mean that maybe my headers threw off the tune and I need to go get it Dyno Tuned to fix this?

Someone make me feel better here, I thought my headers were worth so much more.

I think you need a tune. I have the same mods & mine was pig rich. Tuning took care of it & added 18 hp to boot! :cheers:

Most of the time FLP sees 25-30 hp gains with their headers and tuning. You probably ARE running a bit rich because of them. Once leaned back, it will respond much better, but you need a good dyno tune to show you this. :cheers:
