He has a AEM and exhaust and will be putting on a set of DC or comp headers.

i wonder if he goes on the dyno if he will pick up some power?

he'll pick up a few HP. Tell him to go OBX headers, same results as comptech (20+ to the wheels) but for more then half the price.

The OBX headers will need to be bent about a 1/2" to fit. Do a search there is a thread describing what needs to happen.

I am impressed you are my hero! My goal has been 200 at the wheels. What HP did you start with before tuning with the VAFC?

Before the tuning I was hitting about 195. So tuning the VAFC I got about 14 more HP.
