Great to have you on here Franchi. And yeah, so many factors in a tune depending on the build. Whoever does [MENTION=99584]ibd2328[/MENTION]'s is gonna have some fun. I bet it will take a minimum of 3 revisions with the compound boost. It has been done and can be again. But it will be pain staking.

After selling those treadstone manifolds I've been working on my own headers. I was contemplating on the 16 gauge stuff until I talked to a local welder. He told me to go with schedule 40 1.25" pipe for support and longevity on the primaries. The 1.25" pipe is 1.660 where as the primaries on most flanges are 1-5/8= 1.625. So I'll shave a the 35 thousands off each end to get them to fit. The inside diameter is a little smaller, but should hurt performance at low rpms. I will be running primaries to a collector due to the volume and back pressure.
