Default Hope I'm not disappointed headers cats intake

Got my kooks headers , cats and Halltech from Maryland speed .
Monday I drop the car off at Lingenfelter for install and tune .
Hope I'm not disappointed Lot of money .
2008 base c6 auto
On my 2010 ss camaro ( ls3 also) I gained 50 hp from Livernois's install and Dyno tune . And could really feel the difference .

Going to Lingenfelter this time they opened a shop only a few miles away . But they said do not expect 50 hp gains ?
Same motor as camaro But the c6 is a auto the ss was a m6

If I remember directly, Livernois has a Mustang and Dyno Jet and one gives higher numbers than the other.........

I don't really believe a 50hp increase on the camaro, but I guess it's possible. You will notice the boltons, but what's with the low expectations?

That's what the Dyno sheet reads (49.6) but I'm sure ther is a way
To fudge the numbers .

Big difference in throttle response I'm hoping for the same .

If they tune it correctly, you should feel it in the auto, probably more than the M6.

You'll get some throttle response with engine torque management removed for sure.

Should have made more than 15, but if they did the pulls on different days that could do it. Stop trying to compare to the freakish gains of your Camaro because that simply isn't common, but my guess is you're gonna be happy with it when you drive.

Yeah, those numbers stink, but HP is HP. I would have expected more, those are shorty headers HP numbers. How much torque did you gain?

I figured the headers alone would be close to that.....throw in a tune. Boy, that's a lot of money for 15 horses.
Your transmission will make you smile, tho.

I thought the tune would make 15hp.... Whew, that's some cash for very little gains. Maybe a cam would help?

damn...I would have thought at least 30hp...15 from the headers alone and ~15 for fuel and timing adjustments.

That stinks. A cam added to your combo would give you 85 more hp imo.
