Sebastian at Specialty Z did a great job on the tune. He spent well over four hours making sure everything was perfect. All things considered I had a great time, learned a lot, and made my car a bit faster. Good times.
Not trying to rain on the parade here, but I have to say that I find the absence of any comment on the impact of these headers on low-end torque and power somewhat conspicuous. What happened on the low end? Please tell me that the gains in the midrange didn't come at a huge expense on the low end. *keeping fingers crossed*
