What are your plans with the car track strip street tell a little about what you are looking to accomplish and I'm sure many people would hump in with great advice

Yes simple, it depends how much you wanna drop..

Good starting point for big HP increase is a good tune header combo. That's like 4-6,000
After that its a huge bump to add mire noticeable power,
Then move to the lightweight parts rotors, wheels, hood, trunk. Should be able to do that for 8,000 more
That'll give you a monster on the street, get a second ecu with a race tune file another 2-3,000. And it gets real fast a low 11 sec car all day.. and a race seat some race exhaust and you should be able to flirt with 10s at a great track with great prep

What would be the difference between a normal tune and a race tune? I have a secondary ECU which is tuned by Renntech stage 2. (510hp).. Would a race tune require higher octane fuel? (Not practical for the street)

I think I will just add LT headers.. MHP most likely as it sounds like they are used by the majority of guys with big hp numbers..?

Race tune meaning race fuel 100 + octane.. its I nice bump in power.. Idk about renntech tune. Is use a matched tune so its optimized for your setup, but I'm sure renntech will sell you a header tune

You are right, but the dyno is reading very low number's
the stoke SLR is making mid 400's
i raced 2 F458, Tuned SLS, SLR
and i'm faster then them.

I don't know what to say about MHP Cams, but i will use SLS cams on mynext C63 BS.

Is running LT headers on a tune not designed for headers wise? (A/F out of whack) Or is it just not the most efficient tune for the headers?
