What should I do? MBH Longtube's or Stage 1 kit and TB?
Ultimately I will end up with the works but for now I am torn between 2 options:
1. MBH longtube headers. They seem to do quite well on our engine plus add a nice little sound.
2. Pulley, cooling mods, 82mm TB with tune. This seems to be the conventional route.
So which would you do if you were in my shoes??

I would go with the stage 1 mods with cooling. In the long run it might save you some extra time and money with tuning. You could easily get a box tune that's been proven and with the LT's you'll need a custom tune. IMO paying for a custom tune twice will start to add up with both the tuners time and dyno time. Just my $.02.

If you are looking for power, get the tuning/pulley package. If you want sound, get the headers.

yea but whats the cost in relation? and eventually you will need headers esp when u put on the bigger TB and pulley... all that air in needs to get out, right...
Cooling is my next step for sure, would have been the 1st but I missed out on a badass HE...
O and what kind of tune are we talking here? A "shelf tune" or a custom dyno, cause that's a big difference!
