Default Opinion wanted -LG headers and Tune

2002 Z06 with halltech stinger and LG pro LT headers with cats. Temp about 40 C in the shop and snow blowing in the door...

Baseline 355/340
After Tune 375/356
SAE corrected 390/371

What do you think....

Done by Jeff Creech at CAM

Sounds like a cold day for a tune...not sure how to interpret the results...Is the SAE corrected the actual HP then?

I have a set of headers ready to be installed, now I wonder if it's worth the trouble.

Yes, it's the only bolt on mod I felt a gain from. And it was a Huge gain, no retune yet either

They told me the corrected #'s were what I actually made. Extremes of temp, altitude, etc affect #'s and across properly set up dyno machines the corrected #'s are supposed to be the 'real' numbers. I know some people scoff at this but.....I think if it wasn't 40 deg and snowing (yes the garage door was open)...for example 80 and at a different altitude my uncorrected #'s would be much different. Hopefully some senior members with more experience can chime in and correct me if I'm wrong...

As far as if the headers are "worth it"...there is a noticable change in power in all gears and rev ranges (from what I could tell in a snow storm). Is this from the tune or the headers or both???

I don't think cold air intakes do much but I sure do like the look...

I think that is awesome! I can't wait to get my long tubes and highflow cats w/the dyno tune! I'll post my numbers then! Good job!

Thanks,Matt

On a stock Z06, probably not. I've read in a GM HiTech book that it may be worth 9RWHP at most.
