Default Strup headers installed!

Wow, what a difference. The power is defintely there when WOT. Rob of Zcargarage told me he defintely felt a pretty significance difference before and after the headers. I didn't get it tuned because i was short on time. But i will have my car tuned in a few weeks for sure. I also did the ECU reset which made the car pull like a horse that has gone wild. Not sure exactly how much gain, but i'm quite sure is at least 10-15 hp to the wheels. Strup header is highly recommended as well as Zcargarage.

ur tuning ur car wit what? I suggest u hold off on doing the tune. To save $, i suggest u get every bolt on such as exhaust, cats/testpipes, spacer, intake, pulley, cams, etc before tuning. Unless u got all those mods already!

Congratulations.

If you look at the OEM exhaust manifold (sitting on the ground) you can easily see how restrictive it is. Headers are a worthwhile mod.

Zcargarage is located in San Jose, Ca. Very well respected and known Z tuner in the Bay Area. Ask for Rob if you need anything.

I actually have the majority of the mods except for pulley and cams. I might get JWT cams soon though. I also have AFCII to tune the fuel ratio as well.
May eventually go FI

Vince, stop spending money on those little things man. Labor cost to install cam would run you in the high $1000. Why not use that for your FI?

Oh, i defintely see FI some where near future, but not now. I'm sure i can still use headers in conjunction with supercharger as well as cams for better top end. So im not worried at all. By the way, whats going on with Nismo rears??
