Power Mods for 2010 4 banger

[RiverRatMatt]

I'm looking to get a little more torque out of my engine. I've been looking at some basic mods and I think I have a plan, but I wanted to get some more input from people who know more than I do

So as far as basic mods go, I was thinking combining an LCE Header with the URD MAF Calibrator.

Together these should cost ~$660 (assuming shipping isn't expensive) and from what I've read I should expect something around 25-30 ft/lb increase in torque, yeah?

What do you guys think?

I've never heard of any major performance upgrades with the 4 bangers, but it sounds like you found a couple. The smart ass answer = 1GR-FE. Good luck.

Just some friendly advice, I would stay away from the LCE header. I have a close friend who cracked his manifold and decided to go with an LCE, it cracked, they wouldn't replace it, offered him a credit (not much, I think it covered shipping) for another one, he has a 98 pickup and apparently that was a bad year for manifolds, so he took it. Second header had several pin holes, no response, and it eventually cracked also, again LCE basically told him "tough ". He ended up getting a later model manifold and has been happy so far.

I try to pass this along to everyone I run across because they basically sold him not one but two headers and acted like it was his problem.

Good luck whatever you decide.

For small gain in power do intake and exhaust.

What other headers should I consider? Doug Thorley?

BTW, my truck will never have to pass emissions, so go nuts with suggestions

I guess I should have said proceed with caution. I don't know much about the 2.7 so I can't offer much in the way of advice. Do they offer any chips or programmers for it?
