    It IS tuned just not dyno tuned. Numbers really don't matter and I would say real street tuning is more effective.

    On a side not had another stupid issue... Had a power steering line failure that sprayed PS fluid everywhere so having a custom line made today.

    This will all be tubular and those are like how they do cages in the corners.... That make sense? They are more there as a filler but dont want to block any airflow.

    Yes the bumper and grill will be all in one. No way to fit a stock grill so going custom.
