Which headers did you go with? Did you get a tune? Any other mods?

I guess the market price is like $500-600 bucks for labor, though. That's crazy! The 1996-2004, I could see being closer to fair.

You got a great deal @ $400!
Thanks man!

I would just go with a Steeda email tune. That's what I have now. Their tune is #1 no problems. I also have LT's and full exhaust form Stainless Works and CAI.

Yeah, I'm thinking I will probably just do a Bama tune since it's warrantied and I'll get free tunes for life. I'll probably end up going to Livernois for the supercharger, but I can figure that out later...
