No fuckin joke, with my bad spool and crappier gearing than my buddy's '07, and crappy tune, ah nvm. Won't go there. I'm hoping after the TGV's are done, I will spool up quicker. Only thing left I can think of is some headers, that improves spool right?

Typically, headers will push the powerband further to the right. That includes a littler slower spool than the stock exhaust manifold. However, the gains in power/trq are well worth it, especially on larger turbos.
