trying to add some horsepower

So i bought k&n drop in filter and am thinking of doing a header with a tune. I think i want UEL and am trying to figure out which would be best for horsepower gain. If EL would be bet I'm open to that as well. Any suggestions?

If your looking for max power at the top end of the RPM than EL is for you. It will still have the Torque dip.

If you just want to eliminate the Torque dip than the UEL is for you. It may gain a bit in the top end but not as much as a EL header so in theory the MAX HP your after would be achieved by a EL header.

If you don't mind running with a less rich AFR, then you should do first an ECU tuning. It'll give you the most horsepower.

EL header, tune, and E85 would give you the most HP gains at the top end. UEL header evens out the torque dip better, but gives less at the top.

EL header and a tune. If you want even more power, go with E85 too and get a flex fuel kit
