After the install of the 9lb FW and Wagner header.

I can't be for sure until after the TX meet but in all I say a great torq improvment with some hp gains.

I didn't get to put the header on until after I had the flywheel put in so I can't coment on just the header. But with the 2 installed the car responds a lot better.
Before when I launched it felt sluggish until I hit 3k rpms and then you could feel it start to pick up. Even then it felt that you didn't pull as hard at 3-4k rpm as it did at 4-5k rpm.
But now it pulls just as hard at 2500 on up to 6k. All you feel is the exceleration. I don't know if I'm explaining it the right way so I hope this helps if anyone is thinking about doing any of these mods.

On a 1-10, I give it a 10. But I didn't have to pay for the install on the flywheel so that saved me 450.00. If I had to pay for it Id give an 8.
