OK, im looking into ordering longtubes monday. Are they worth the price?? What kind of gains can I expect with Chip, filter, exhaust and 5lb pulley?? Who has the best price on longtubes?? Are they very hard to install? will I need a reburn?? Who has them in stock?? thanx for the help... chris

 

i know of 3 people that didnt gain squat and were heavily moded. but that is only 3 people

 

I didn't gain squat for performance, just sound. Not worth the ~$850 IMHO.

 

I noticed your 1/4 time will remain the same, your MPH maybe a little higher.

 

Your exhaust will sound meaner.

I improved by .4 sec. Went from a 13.2 to 12.8 with full meal deal from JDM. I had Sal's chip, air filter kit and 4lb pulley when I ran last.

I was able to get .2 and 3mph with a full system. Best now is 12.5@110

The more boost or nos you run, the bigger the gains you should see from long tubes. The more you put in, the more you need to let out....

On a truck with alittle boost I have seen .1-.2

Higher boost or Nos I have seen up to .5

My truck was REALLY consistent before them, no matter what track I was at or as long as it was not to hot. I will have my results from them next weekend since I got rained out this weekend....

 

Haven't gone to the track yet but there is a definate SOTP performance, definately ranks on my @ss-o-meter test

 

i'll also have track results this weekend

 

Has anyone tried to get their exhaust manifold ported?? or honed if thats the right word

Good idea, but why when you get just get headers? Which would probably give more gain anyways.

Dan you old fart.... remember what the IT20s allowed to happen?



In order for the engine to fire with the increased exhaust flow caused by the headers at high rpms , IT20s were installed. No where have or will I imply the IT20s gave me the ET gain. The ET gain was from the increased exhaust flow from the headers, problem that had to be corrected was to get a plug that could fire at the high rpms with the increased exhaust flow. The old engine air pump delima..... increased the boost on the intake side and exhast side could not expel the increased air input ...... The problem I experienced with the JDM full meal deal. Full Meal Deal brought put the TR5s into a misfire condition because they were now too hot for the volume of gas going out the headers. To reap the benefit of the higher flow a colder plug that would fire through the higher rpm with the increased exhaust flow was needed.

Dan you fogot what was the problem was Is it time for me to bring you your weekly dose of Geritol and Serutan? LOL
