Necessary? No. Strongly encouraged, yeah. Specially if you plan on beating on the car, but if you have a CAM swap in the near future just wait till then.

Of course will sound much better when there is a cam in it

Yea it will be beastly then. My TSP Headers were 4hp less then the ARH same car (mine), SIMILAR conditions (as they are never exact). 4hp is within a normal margin of error so TOO ME there was absolutely no difference in performance.

You will be good to go There is a good chance your car is already road tested prior to you getting it in order for them to tweak your tune, so its getting plenty of cycling, plus by this point its already heat cycled so let it rip.

Wow that's it? Glad I decided what I did then.

Got a place in town that will coat for $150 so I'll be good to go.

Gentlemen,

PM me your emails so I can take this offline. That way no one can slap my pee pee for doing it on the boards.

Anyone else that wants to know do so as well.

I caught a pretty well known vendor selling me something for more than I paid going direct to the manufacturers site. LOL. So the first I bought came from them, second I bought came from the manuf.

Yea, that said I was NA at the time. Not sure of your MODS but I still wouldnt expect a huge difference if any at all.

Come in early... I'll put you up at my place and you can drop the car at Lethal and have the work done BEFORE the fest! We can pick it up on the way over to houston. Any maybe you'll get a chance to have an exclusive crawfish sampling.
