Gains with long tube headers (FI)
I was just wondering if it would be worth the 1000+ or so I'd have to spend on headers, high flow cats, etc. How much of a horsepower/torque gain should I expect since I have a Saleen S/C? I've heard you get more of a gain if you have forced induction.

Ive read around 30-40. The sound would be worth it though.

The sound is definitely worth it. I dunno about 30-40 hp. Seems a little much. I'm putting 315 to the wheels N/A with the mods in my sig.

315 is really good for those mods. Nice.

I'd say more like 10-20 is at mot the biggest gains you'll get unless you are above 12psi or you get you get a CNC job...or a stroked engine...

Man I have been told that you should only buy long tube headers if you do have a supercharger, so go for it.
