The tune was not touched. We just put it on to see what the difference would be. Will be installing it permanently in about a week or so and then he will retune it if need be. We will see if the numbers change any at that time.

Second video is with the powerpipe installed and it made 396.47rwhp/381.04rwtq. So a gain of about 25hp. Not too bad.

Looks like I will be getting a powerpipe.

What brand pipe did you use?

Believe it or not it is designed for a Procharger. I think it is an Anderson unit. Guy at the shop had it on his Roush, but he is doing something different with his system. We have to modify it a bit and then getting it powder coated to match the rest of my tubing.
