It will run, but quite far from optimal.

EDIT: If I were to buy the ACE after I pick up the JRSC, I would just have to pay for a tune for the header. Right?

We can help you out with your setup if you have any questions regarding JRSC kit + the ACE setup.

You can buy the JRSC hardware only, and CARB tune separately, without purchasing another Ecutek License and cable.

If you have an Ace header, there's no purpose in having a CARB tune, unless you just want the sticker (which is a popular option).

I want the sticker because I'm in Cali. Im fine with swapping a header back and forth every couple of years. I don't feel like taking a FI kit off every couple years though.

I was under the impression that if I bought the JRSC tuner kit, that I wouldn't get the sticker and it would be a PITA to get the CARB sticker later on if I needed it from Jackson.

U will be dead, that exhaust is hell metaly by itself. Unless you neighbor love it of course.

Upload videos! Lol I know tommy sounds Hella nice outside.. Not sure about inside.

You can buy just the CARB tune from JR via CSG. That comes with a CARB sticker.

You can buy carb tune separately which allows you to buy JRSC without all the ecutek bits. Just get header and ecutek now. You may not want JRSC after you feel the power of this header.

That last line is a bit of an overstatement. Lol.

Well, considering he's owns the header, and had the Innovate SC, Ptuning turbo, and JRSC...

[Hyper4mance2k]

Is there any reason that Ace didn't use a megaphone after the merge-collector on the anaconda?
Did they consider or test one? Seems like that header would have been even better had they done that.

this.

After all that NA -> FI -> NA -> FI -> NA -> FI -> NA .... a pure NA header build is better for tracking. LOL.

LOL a header that does nearly half the power of a CARB tune JRSC. Imagine when there's both combined!

He did. He keeps trying different FI kits and always ends up going back to NA and running same or faster lap times. Go figure.

Thats awesome to hear. The more and more i track my car, the less HP obsessed i become. I would love to add the JRSC to my car, but right now the car runs so good and isnt plagued by any heat issues. I just keep finding excuses to stay NA.

I know thats not the popular opinion around here, but I just keep finding little a bit more speed here and there without adding HP.
