power GAINS or power LOSS?

i am looking to go with strup headers accompanied by fast intentions high flow cats along with fast intentions exhaust.

i've been reading that some N/A going this routine has had power robbed from them? i am looking to spend a lot of money on these mods and dont want to have to regret them if they end up taken power from my engine.

also. should i look into TechnoSquare ecu reflash?

i am currently running ztube w/popcharger, 5/16 spacer and UR pulleys.

Torque will be lost around the low part of the powerband I believe. But you'll gain more on mid and high end..

First of all, the factory ECM, has a tolerence level for all the parameters. If things start to go outside the parameters, it tries to compensate. The bull**** of resetting the ECM doesn't work. You just didn't erase factory code and have it relearn the new mods. In time, the computer will just try to keep adjusting within the factory settings. Get a technosquare reflash would help, but that might be a back & forth thing for while. Some people, like the guy with the G35 Sedan, made the car run worse after a few days. A better choice would be to get the new S-tune Stage II kit from NISMO that will bump your car to 320 ~ 325 RWHP! Compression Ratio is now 12.3:1 all factory tuned! All the parts work together with the s-tune II ECM. No guessing, no wasting your time, no worrying about retuning your car all the time.

yen to dollars around 7500.00 for the KIT. Looks sweet too!

Ouch!!

$7500 plus install would be at least $9-10k.

For that kind of power just get a Stillen SC. You will keep your oem powerband shape but gain 30-40% easy for a lot less.
