RE: expected gains?
i wasnt wanting to tackle the exhaust just yet.. but i am thinking about the bbk long tube headers with there matching h pipe-then the magnapack, i should get a lot out of that-probably 30-40 hp....(is that right) anyway i am thinking about doing it next but i am waiting until i can get all the pieces that way ill get them all done at the same time and my car will feel completely different and i would save on labor.

i don't know about the hp with that exhuast..... if you are doing all that intake upgrading and no exhuast upgrades, you really won't see the full potential of the accufab setup(which i might add is the hottest intake setup known to man, at the moment). definitly get an exhuast before you get the chip... you really don't need that until you get more serious mods.... good luck!!

RE: expected gains?
well i got the diablo for only 80 bucks and its only 120 bucks for the burn and then lifetime re-burns. the guy told me that if i could find it for under 100 that it was a good deal. well what setup for exhaust do you think that i should run then-i want long tubes, and im not sure about the h/x pipe(which one does what) but i DO want to run magnapacks...what do you think
and if i do get that intake setup, my full exhaust, the chip and the pulleys-i should be in the 10s
(i wish).... what do you think ill be looking as far as hp gain-50 to 60 maybe

RE: expected gains?
definitly not 10's.... i'm not going to sit here and say you need to get this or that, i am just giving you an idea of a setup without starting a flamming contest on which exhuast is better. i have MAC LT's, MAC Prochamber, and the MAC 2 1/2" CatBack... i was stupid and bought the C&L plenum with a MAC 70mm T/B and a MAC CAI... i haven't had any complaints so far except that i should have waited on the intake setup.. one day here soon i will get my accufab plenum / T/B setup.. its all about finding the parts that will work the best with each other.
which diablo chip is it???
