    Mine climbs and stays 212-235 when pulling a TT. I’m going to drop my 180t stat back in and see if that helps.

    New shorty headers on the market, I think.

    What did you notice as far as "seat gains" or overall difference in drivability and response? I'd like to gain anything i can down low with these 3:55 gears w/5speed and 35's.

    I would like to see the gains from them. I have not had a header bolt break so im worried if I tried to install a pair a stud would snap. i do have 157k on my 2010.
