    I came across some money I was not expecting and I want to do some stuff to my car. :D I have a few questions.

    What is the best tuner and Intake setup right now?

    Is there any problem with puting something like a deablo tune and a 75 shoot zex kit together?

    What type headers and mufflers? No smoge test here.

    Also want to do a set of 4.10's.

    What times should I be close to with that setup.

    Thanks for the help.

    yep, but heres some help. the c&l and the jtl have similar numbers with a tune. i have not seen numbers with a tune for others, but might be in a search.... seems like a personal preference as far as sct or diablosport tuners. it is HIGHLY encouraged to use a tune with nitrous. there should not be any problems with that, just ask others such as cleveland. dont know about headers for sure, but get long tubes, as the shortys are a waste of money, because the stockers flow well. mufflers are a personal preference as well. i like the flowmasters, but many are into the slp's and magnaflows. as far as ETs, it depends on your driving, but i would guess high to mid 12s.

    When searching I would suggest using the terms: nitrous and diablo

    I agree with BigCat on all points! You may consider an X-Pipe with high flow cats. That seems to be the bottle neck for both power and heat on the 05 exhaust! Many are finding that once they go to high flow cats, the heat from the floorboard and shifter tunnel goes away.

    I'd go with the JLT or C&L with an SCT Xcal2. If you do a wet shot of 75-100hp, you will be fine. If you decide on a dry shot, I'd have a custom tune made.

    C&L have a good intake setup. Or you could just get the nitrous and tune done. Whatever you do, get a tune done. Always recommended to get a dyno tune done. Bassani has the most expensive mufflers/tip, but they make the most power according to MMFF. Flowmaster is cheap and has that deep sound. Not sure about the x-pipe, but get an offroad if you want to make any more power. And yes, get LT's

    I have the C&L cai, Diablo tuner, Zex kit with 75 shot, and custom tune. I am very happy with the power and when someone comes out with some colder plugs I will up the nos. My best ET so far has been 12.68 on radials. I think you will like this combo because it's easy to do.
