That's very unlikely... also, keep in mind that the previous tune will not be optimized with the new headers, therefore it still gives you a good idea of the approximate percent gains over test pipes that could be achieved with them (and a tune).

If we want to be ultra conservative about estiamtes though, I'd say probably 2.5% of the gains are from "just" the tune. That fits what his shop claimed where the car was in the 320's before additonal tuning.

So figure about 4% without tuning, which is still pretty good considering that's over and above any gains realized from TP's.
