Default Halltech Hornet

Halltech Hornet got installed this past Monday as I got ambitious and taking my time it was all done in 2.5 hrs. Today it was great weather here south of Boston so I took a ride and my seat of the pants impression, greater torque, stronger pull thru the full RPM...the Halltech Hornet works! It compliments my Wilson ported intake, Soler 91mm TB and ARH headers, another happy Halltech Hornet customer. BTW Dru and all the Halltech crew are great!

Glad to hear it! We're going down a similar mod path and will be rather identical other than varying brands of similar parts. Have you opted for a set of high-flow cats yet?

I'll be installing my AFE intake this weekend assuming FedEx delivers on-time.

Hi Kracka, I've not opted for the High-flow cats yet but am likely going with the Paragon Touring exhaust first. I'd love to see 500+ rwhp (wishful thinking...lol) with simple bolt-ons as no tuning possible at this time. This will be my Track day car for now.
Good luck with your build.

You should be right at 500+rwhp. Carl Messenger with a similar setup did 499 rwhp without headers but with the Blackheart exhaust system instead.
