3800 installed headers....

[phat_ridegt]

i installed the TOGs over the weekend, and i havent had a chance to scan w/ ls1m yet as it has been rainy and crappy out, but the most boost i have seen so far is a solid 10 psi, and before the headers i was seeing 14.13 or something like that. i was expecting to lose a little bit of boost but they seems excessive. im not complaing just seeing if that is normal or what? also i see now it vacums around 22-23 in/hg now as apposed to solid 20 before...is this normal?

BTW this is w/ ssic and 3.2

seems normal to me.. 3.2" with ssic, headers, exhaust... seems fine

DAM MAN!! You have a sweet set up. Probably dont even have to worry about KR with your set up. I have a little catching up to do. I am waiting for my PEMs right now as well as my DHP Tuner. Next on my list are rockers. I'm still studying, but will see what happens.

What gauge was used for that 14.13 reading? You will lose boost when improving flow but 4psi seems a bit much. It's possible though if the system is really restrictive. You should also see lower vac because of the improved efficiency.

actually i scanned the car today and it was 13.01 psi max so really it only lost like 1psi...seems more feesable...i was thinking maybe .5 psi drop so 1 is alright with me. saw a max of 1.56 kr tho...so thats getting better...once i get the afc tuned in it should be perfect

Did you flip your swaybar?? It might be hitting the DP.

 

[phat_ridegt]

no i didnt flip the swap bar, however i noticed that after the exhaust was welded up, there's a clangy noise when the car idles when in drive...i can make it step when i move one of the mufflers
