Default BBK Shorty Headers installed and Custom Dyno Tune

I had the BBK shorty's installed today at livernois and had the car custom tuned.
Unfortunately I did not get a baseline pull so no definative answer on numbers from the shorty headers, however I can definately tell a differnece. Not sure how much is from the tune and how much from the headers.
The car made 300rwhp and 312rwtq on a dynojet (plot attached).
Mods include the headers, MRT catted H Pipe, MRT axleback, C&L intake. overall i am very happy with results and it feels like a new car compared to the mail order tune i was running.

That's a pretty low cash outlay for 300 WHP. Great job!

well, i cant really speak for longtubes as i obviously dont have them.
They are supposed to make more power. Most things i read said shorty's are not worth it. However I completely disagree, i can definately tell a difference with the shorty's and my custom tune. it feels like a different car.
