No, no mufflers, but the "dyno guy" said that a good set of mufflers (like a DynoMax) wouldn't change that much, except raise the torque a shade.

What we did was tune for a broad power curve, versus a higher peak. When we found that, we stuck with it. From 5,100-6,000 it was making 400hp or more, and was in the 416hp-420hp range all the way from 5500-6000. 6000rpm was about the most the engine seemed to like to run...now the only problem is keeping dad from spinning it over 7k!
