I opened it up on a flat stretch of desert and easily hit 135 mph. The torque curve hits sorta a flat spot near 5k, which is where I've been told our stock manifolds choke. Can't wait to get the new headers installed. Hang tight..... more to come soon.  |
Oh Boy Oh Boy, You're finally doing the headers. You're going to love them! I also have the euro tune. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes. I've had it up to 130, and it still had more to go! After talking with a few reps from Active Autowerke, it sounds like they would be able to further optimize for the headers with a tune that would be compatible with the Euro 2 tune/software. Thats next on the list for sure..
