Low end power loss
Low end power loss
I just got done with long tubes and an off road h pipe on my 2006 GT. Noticing the car feels like a turd off the line until it gets close to second gear. Makes a lot of noise but ain't really going anywhere especially fast. Other mods are c&l cai, udp, cmdp, and a bama tune for everything. The car is an auto with 3:31 gears. Could it be that I need 3:73s/4:10s or could the tune need adjusting. Really was expecting more from this upgrade so any thoughts would be appreciated. Thx

IIRC ? You need a re-tune for long tube headers, as they change your air/fuel ratio.. Check with you vendor and have them adjust/revise your tune for the long tubes and you should be just fine

Oops ! I forgot all about the OP has 3:31 gears, which is also a contributing factor behind his lack of low end torque..
So I totally agree that he should also upgrade to at least 3:55 gears or perhaps even 3:73's in addition to either getting his tune calibration revised or look into getting his car custom dyno tuned by a local shop
