6# for the new exhaust?

Whats up boys,
Two part question so i can knock it out one pop since I want to do this ASAP.
OK first month with the new L and I have went with the TR6 plugs,SBTB,Boost by pass,WC drop,open air intake,4# L Pully,and JUST had a complete Bassani exhaust installed. I have read previous posts about HP gains/Torque loss,no loss,etc. But what I need to know before I get it tuned is SHOULD I go with a 6# now with the new exhaust? I would hope that the system would/will not hurt the current mods. I want to go forward not back or am I good with the 4#(luckily it is a QC just in case)? If majority thinks I should go up with the pulley will the TR6 still do the job? I just put this crap on and hope I dont need to replace much if any already becuast of a new exhaust system.

Second part. Recommendation for mainly street use,panhard bar? Traction bars? Both? Best kind to look at.

I appreciate the feedback but I just want to have this hashed out before I go spend $200-$300? On a tune. Lets do it right the first time you know.

Thanks for the input fella's

TR6's will be fine with a 4# lower, or a 6# lower
They are a verry flexable plug and work great with just about any pulley combo

As for traction bar VS Panhard bar, I say go with traction bars unless you plan to road race.

#4 lb Pulley is more reliable with a stock motor providing you have a good safe tune, and you won't worry as much every time you hit it as you would with a #6.

Noted thanks. So do you think with the 4# crank and opened up intake system does that add any boost?

You should see around 12 lb's of boost.
