Yeah it sounds like crap coming straight out the tailpipe. But come to think about it when I got the ebay y-pipe installed I also got a diff. tailpipe installed at the same time. One of them chrome rolled edged tailpipes maybe thats whats making it sound like crap?

I'am sure you won't be disapointed performance 93 is some what breath taking.

I'm hoping its all that and more with the headers and intake. Soon as I get a couple of friends that wanna take a couple hour trip with me I'll get my rig strapped onto a dyno and post up some prints.

Actually we have some coming up. Headers and FM70 will be installed next week, hopefuly. We will dyno after all of this is installed and post back.
After these mods and runs we will have some other cool stuff to add and dyno as well. More to come on that later.

Sorry guys still have not gotten around to it yet. I did have to buy new tires for the truck , they are taller and a tad heavier which may skew results. Sorry about this but bought truck with worn out tires and had a cut tire and no spare so a new set was in order.... I will keep you guys posted.

Hi helmjama
Well some sort of tune would be my first choice, 2nd a ypipe and go easy on the go pedal.. Also, since you just got your v10 look into doing some preventive maint first as well. Clean Maf sensor, spark plugs those kind of things.

thanks for Joining us in the V10 forum
Mike

Got mine dyno'd over the weekend. I am very very disappointed with the numbers. I'll see if I can get my scanner working and the print up.
