Question: How much horsepower (especially midrange) can one expect to gain from a race header install (just N/A, not boosted).

I read in another post that gains were about 22hp. Now...let's be modest and say that's all midrange. Fine. Now, let's move from small piping to 3" piping of the Skunk2. You may be able to expect 26hp gain midrange. I would assume that you could see gains in the top end as well.

Race header + high flowing exhaust = good times (when you need to make a payment)
