    Corsa is louder than a...!!! But it's a different kind of sound.
    More of a high pitched race car sound.
    Hooker and flowmaster sound like a loud drum rolling type of noise.
    Magnaflow, more of deep bigiblock noise.

    I prefer a quiet magnaflow when driving around, then a cutout when I want some noise.

    Ohh I got it. So that what lot of people say hooker is high pitch? Did you see my dyno number. Wonder if I run stock 17" wheels probably go to 295 or 300hp? Do you have any idea if I able look around 340 to 350hp for swamp cam kit, high stall? Before I able start budget to get front mount turbo.
    Currently have-
    CAI Bruteforce AEM, Vette servo, Hooker muffler, Nelson HPTUNER progam.
    Future- Frount mount T-70, 212/218 cam 114LSA, 918 springs, high stall yank and swap to 80E tranny, #60 injectors, 255lph fuel pump, meth injector,better intake mainfold, 2/4 lower kit with airhelper.

    Get the a/f ratio monitored and report back, then we can fine tune, i'm sure we can hit 300hp with stock wheels and feedback, but you'll need hptuners to do that. You might want to start saving for hptuners before any major modifications, sound like you're heading in that direction.

    I'd skip camshaft, wait until after the turbo. But yes, a cam would gain another 30-45hp to the wheels , depending on the dyno of course, they all read differently.

    Yeah. But turbo kit would be around 3500, injector, fuelpump, change tranny more costly. All I know turbo for 60e so it will not handle it for a while? I could do step and step to get 80e and everything need. When hptuner will be on sale. Id buy it. But I not know very well with hptuner to do my own adjust? How hard? Do you need a/f ratio from my dyno. I can call dyno to email me paper and tell you what a/f number ok?

    2 pull- 13.2 then drop to 12.9

    Im curious which you really think I should stay with hptuner or eflive? Does they ever put a sale good deal? If yes, when they usually do that. I probably go ahead buy it.

    I have never seen a sale on HPTUNER's product.

    I own the HPTUNERs hardware and have had it for a few years. It's pretty decent stuff. I hear EFILIVE is doing things today that HPTUNERs has been promising for years.

    I would investigate your options thoroughly before buying. HPTUNERS has been in a BETA stage in their software for the last two years and not all vehicles they say they support are truly supported. Only about 2% of all the vehicles HPTUNERS does cover is supported for upgrading the tune to forced induction tuning.

    Maybe someone with EFILIVE can chime in and highlight any pluses or gripes they have with their product.
