Default Please Help

Ok guys, I know I'm in the wrong area, but when I owned my v6 you guys helped like crazy. I now own a 2005 gt, and no matter what I post, it seems like I don't have any help from any of those guys at all. I have a K&N CAI, Magnaflow exhaust, a TB Spacer, and an SCT Tuner. I am getting a Borla mid x-pipe and long tube headers, but I also want to know what I should go with next. You have always helped me out, and I am hoping you guys could pull through again. Thanks, and good being in these threads again.

The tb spacer is worthless. I personally don't know where the biggest restrictions are on the new gt, but it sounds like gears would be a good place to start. After that...intake, heads, cam, etc. is where you'll want to go.

Swap the K&N for a JLT!
And gears next or long tubes!

Are you posting in the 4.6 Tech section with all the 96-04 4.6's? Or in the 05+ section. Cause the s197 section SUCKS. Do you have any idea how many threads of theirs are moved to Off Topic? I swear, they're the biggest bunch of idiots on here. Not to stereotype, of course.

I post in the s197 section, and if there is ever any new thread in there it disappears the next day. It really really sucks! You get absolutely no help, and it's total opposite from the v6 section

That's cause all their "tech" threads get moved to OT. Hang around OT for a little bit, you'll see that the s197 section is kind of the joke of the forums.
