Default 384/368 from headers only, I'll take it!
Went to ECS yesterday and Chris had one of his ace mechanics tune my car and put a lower thermostat in for me.

It Dyno'd 366 at ICS last summer and CTCorvette put headers on it for me in the spring.

Yesterday when ECS was done my best pull on a god awful hot and 80% humidity day it pulled a 384rwhp and 368torque. That will hold me. (for awhile!)

Thanks Chris for taking me in on short notice

18-20 hp gain from headers with a tune sounds about right based on other posts here. Share with us what got you from the high 280's - low 290's off the showroom floor to the 366 last summer. GOOD numbers!

I brought in an 03 Z06 for a friend to get headers, and the guy can't believe the difference the headers made. Good for you,
