he just said it was a GMPP ls6 - he made it the subject of his post, i didnt see it at first either. i assume that means 243 heads/z06 or equivalent cam as well, which makes more sense. still 2 dyno's with ~30hp gains at the wheel. that's no joke for just an exhaust.

Also the auto must have gained more because it has more parasitic loss in the drive train.

Thats what it looks like, maybe even a little more with a high flow air filter. You may see a little less gains if you go with the street version of the headers though.

That's what we usually see with those two and a tune.

Personally it was super pros or nothing for me but anyways on to the differences. The pros have a race style merge collector and a full 3 inch tubing all the way to the catback. The X-pipe is also much nicer than the one on the streets as it is welded together versus stamped. The streets also neck down to 2.5 inch after the cats just like the factory system and have a lower cost collector which I believe is also stamped.
The pros should net you a higher initial gain and will support more power in the end.

To clear things up a bit for y'all...

I had a GMPP LS6 Crate Engine installed a few years ago, then last year I went to LG Motorsports for the following additions and a custom tune, it has great performance.

> K&N's Generation II FIPK®
> LG Motorsports C5 Street Series Long Tube Headers
> CORSA Xtreme Cat-back System with Pro-Series Tips
> 01-04 Mass Air Flow Sensor 5 Wire Upgrade

Hope this helps/clears up any confusion...

Later . . . . . .
