Dyno #s are a great.................all things being equal. If I told you we put our full exhaust system on Pauls truck and got right at 40 HP and 70+ ftlbs of torque, you might expect that you would get that with your truck, right? Well, Pauls truck has a Works112 blower on it and yours, probably soes not.

So, it really depends on what mods you have, wether your truck is a strong runner, or a run of the mill L, and what part of the country you are in, as to what type of performance gain you will see.

A fellow in the mountains of Arizona is hardly going to see the same gains as gent at sea level with cold air in Maine.

Well still researching. $1,200 is a boat load for headers and mid pipes.

So far JDM posted fast, but doesn't answer email questions.

PSP didn't return a phone call.

Paul from REM was great to talk with on the phone, and answered many questions that I had. Hats off to you Paul.

I guess I have a good idea where my money is going to.

I would like to note that dyno runs do have correction factors so that it shouldn't matter where the run was taken.

I still don't have any dyno runs. I would have prefered to see some runs with 4 lbs extra boost because it seems most people are running that.

It's real hard to believe JDM's claims. Maybe on 1 out of 1000 vehicles, but not typical. That's why I posted to begin with.

Thanks

Amen, brother. REM has truly outstanding customer service -- and I am one picky MF.
