pacesetters arent even in same category as good headers like kooks, stainlessworks and ARH. swapping to a good brand alone sees a nice gain.
as for torque being in a truck, its funny you say that when a LS motor doesnt make torque of a SBC, its more designed for topend power. It was also proven that the 1 7/8 increase torque but its also up top where LS motors make torque.

IMO unless your out flowing the MAF there is no reason to ditch it... As for buying the bigger one, well i would not recommend that... But given your mods i doubt your out flowing the MAF... I have however seen some post on efi live where some of the corvette guys have benefited from a bigger MAF...

perhaps in some cases, but as for the original poster i doubt it is a restriction... Also if he goes to SD it will still cost him money anyways... I believe he uses HPT which i think a SD OS cost money correct? If he does not upgrade he will loose the low octane table, adaptive spark learning, and some fuel learning if memory serves correctly... so IMO it will affect his tune... then again he can just not upgrade and run with no safety features and pray not to get a bad tank of gas... Me personally i like having a safety net rather than running on the ragged edge...
