Maybe Tunetime will chime in with more information on this. Was the tune conservative, or is there something different about the hardware compared to other header systems?

I'm curious as well.

Pfadt got about a 30whp gain without a tune from their headers if I remember correctly.

We have been keeping track of every running condition before and after from oil temp 185 ,coolant temp 203-205 , IAT 75-78 and room temp 57-59 so are they low or are they real? Keep in mind I have been tuning this ECM for almost 6 months and 10k miles [ I own a 14 GMC Sierra ]... Our gains are seen in the 2-3 mph higher trap speed over my stock passes ... FYI On a Drag radial with a sea level day ... I went 1.68 60 ft 11.47 @ 119.8 ... Same mods...

Please, tell us what mode you ran this in- Sport or Track? Was it with PTM, and if it was, which of the 5 settings? RPM you launched from?

Thanks!!

I don't think you remember correctly.

These cars don't seem to be picking up that much from longtubes + tune vs just a tune.
