Having owned my 260sx legend for a couple of years now looking to squeeze some more speed out of here. It has the 496HO, She currently GPS @ 58 at 4600rpm. I'm looking at pulling the corsa exhaust W/mufflers non Switchable to running straight through W/flaps. Then looking at sending the prop in to get labbed. I do have tabs so hopefully they can squeeze a bit out of the prop. Was even thinking of new manifolds not sure how much more that would give me.

What size you running currently. I still have a buddies labbed 26p that its basically brand new sitting around I haven't got back to him yet.
Pulling the "turbolator" plates out of the exhausts has shown 10-15hp on the dyno. I'm sure someone will dispute this but I read it online so its gotta be true! They even had a dyno sheet with colored lines to prove it! Lol

If you're running a 23p Mirage Plus, be aware it's not a "true" 23. I'd go with a 22 or 21 Hydromotive QIV. I made the mistake of going with a 23 Hydormotive QIV, although up 2mph it bogged down my rmps. It did cure my chine walk in an instant, but I wish I went with a small size.
