not sure i'd go through all the trouble of a dyno, but your LTFT's will be running rich with the new exhaust. stand behind it, breath deep, and tell us if you need a tune

maybe not as much as a factory car that's never been leaned out, but yea, you're leaving some on the floor cus the exhaust is going to make you run rich. there's pleeeeeeeeenty of discussion of that on here.

Not a dyno tune, but at least have it data logged on the street and make adjustments for cruising, part throttle and WOT.

yea, and 29whp's no joke. i would have just waited til you had all the bolt-ons for a dyno tune to save money, but no biggie. hell 359 with just an intake is quite nice.
