ooohh man what a great addition to the car the diablosport performance tune (91 octane) and C&L cia. The car feels totally different and you could tell from the get go. I have greater response and the car seems to sound better. The SLP loudmouths are helping I'm sure. I got some advice though from my mechanic that instead of getting the JBA headers I should spend the money on a gear change. He said that would really make the car jump. However I got my mind set on the JBAs what do you guys think? i've been told the headers would only add about 5-8 hp is this true? anyways I would highly recommend the diablo tuner, c&l kit for anyone that is thinking about getting them.

you already have 3.55 if you change go with the 4.10's and if your going to do headers do long tubes....


I am thinking I will do both the shorty JBA headers and a gear change. The gear change looks like it could be done at a very small price (the parts and install) however the headers I have to go with is the shortys, I live in Cal. I wish I could do the long tubes we have a ton of emission regulations we gotta follow. I do not feel like swapping out headers every 3 years. I am still doig research on which ratio gear change to go with.I may go 3.9 or the 4.1 I was told it is not good for long trips having the gears set that high.Will see thanks guys. :)

glad to hearit, buying the combo myself. :D
 
go with the jba's if you want. hear some guys having fitment problems. i went with ford motorsport's shorties and they fit great and there a hell of a lot cheaper at about $325. if you change gears go 410 or not all. they will help the car get off the line quicker on the track but if you don't see a lot of track time your just gonig smoke the tires anyway.
 
I was considering that setup and have a few questions. Did you do the work yourself and if so did you follow up with a dyno to refine the tune? How long have you had it installed (miles) and any trouble with Trouble Codes?
Thanks
