Well I talked to Mike over at 5 star and took the mini plunge. They mailed the equipment off today should reach me by friday Woohoo. I looked around and heard about the rave but I really havn't seen the numbers on how much gain you get with both the tune and cold air induction. So what say you all you gear head gooroos. And yes me and my truck drink the good stuff. I will be running 93 oct. What can I expect?

Seeing that headers are supposedly good for almost 30hp and headers/tune/intake/exhaust are getting roughly 50-60rwhp.......I'm gonna guess 15-20rwhp. Do you have exhaust?

No, I still have stock exhaust and I personally like the stock exhaust. I feel it has a nice tone to it without a cab drone. I've heard from a few ford guys that the stock exhaust performs pretty dam good as far as restriction is concerned to where purchasing alternative exhaust systems is probably more for sound than performance.

Thats true, if your only going to replace the muffler. When I cut my stock out you could hold it just right and see daylight clear through.
