Hey Paladin, Actually I'm not the exhaust gas expert either....I know to some extent the manifolds are good due to the fact that the turbos are so close the the head, something about more pressure and heat. All I knew is the hp that I wanted and that several people had already gotten it with the banks manifolds....sorry I couldn't be more help on the exhaust flow question though........But I definately believe you can get more power out of a header turbo setup rather that my manifolds...but these will give me the power and times that I'm looking for.

My intake is an Accel Pro Ram. Im using an adapter elbow from Precision Turbo and the throttle body is a single 90mm blade from Accufab. The single 90mm blade has more area than the twin 58mm bore I had before.

Im not sure what my headers will support but you are right I do have aspirations for more power down the road. I think these headers will be able to carry me a very long way.

DEFINATELY !!!!!

hey Guido, does that elbow system look like it's going to stick up a good ways in your hood. I had also thought about using it but was worried about routing and hood room.

speed pro

Hey guido have you gotten the windows upgrade yet for the speed pro. Mine should be here tomorrow. Ive been told its easier to use, and the new manual is more in depth on how all the tables work. Best of all it was only 25 bucks. Just thought Id pass it along.

GTA Pal, I bought the intake with fuel rails only. If it comes with any ECU, the option would have to be DFI since its made by Accel. But I dont know to be honest.

87z, I havent gotten it yet. Im pretty happy with the DOS based version I have. Besides, it is more happy on there. My laptop is only a 486 so Windows is still kinda sloppy on it and it doesnt have a great video card in it.

I havent had any issues with tuning so far. I ran all this year with no problems at all. it is the best mod I ever bought for my car.

Yes the intake will get into the hood. I havent purchased a cowl hood for it yet.
