Someone just said I may lose hp because of no backpressure with longtubes and such without a supercharger. Is this true?????????

if you go with full bolt-ons and nitrous you will be fine.

The only place youll lose it is under 3000 rpms... even that is questionable. Long tubes are definatly much better than stock. You'll gain a good amount in the powerband.

Yeah however it wasnt much, because the only time i've really got on it i had a 160lb passenger and 300lb of salt in my trunk. Felt about the same with all that weight comparing to when i was stock. So thats a lot of weight to makeup for. I cant wait to ditch the weight but its gonna stay till probably mid-march.
