aight... i have read that lt headers lower low end torque... and well i ahve mac lt and a mac prochamber coming in the next day or too... as well as underdrive pulleys.. but its the here say true... and how bad is it.. like are we tlakin mayb 5tq or like 15tq... and if so when i get my gears should i get 4.10 instead of 3.73 to help with the low end?? i am unsure cuz i dont wanna loose my top end speed with the 4.10... but i would be using the low end more so yea u get hte idea i hope

truthfully throw mac away...if you are stock lt's won't do much for ya,but what do i know.

what is it with people saying i don't want to lose my top end.....are we flat tracking this car in the salt flats?...tell ya what i'd rather have a car that could do 0-112 in less than 12 seconds than 0-150 in two minutes.

Seriously, were not trying to burst your bubble with your headers and prochamber but if you can. Tell them that you would like to take them back. I already been through MAC LT's and a MAC Pro-Chamber and I hated them. I loved the sound, etc. but the install was absolultly ridiculous and the quality is sh*tty. I hate to tell you this because Im sure your very excited but were just looking out for ya... get a set of BBK LT's and you will be much much happier. Trust me.... trust us.


Also, you will loose low end with LT's BUT its not going to be anything where your like o **** my car is so slow off the line now that I got longtubes... I would be suprised if you even noticed to be totally honest. And no, I would never consider upgrading to 4.10's from 3.73's for the main reason of you getting long tubes.
