How are you logging boost? What did you have before exhaust wise?

headers take away boost, you need a bigger pulley to compensate for the loss of boost

because u already removed the cats before, thats what i understand, or maybe your LT are not big enough, what is the collecter size ? i think if you make it 3" you will loose some boost.

i didn't go for LT after my setup because i dont think i will get that much gain if i get any at all.
