Dynoed my Z with FLP LT headers today
We had a dyno day at MTI today and I dynoed my Z with the new FLP LT headers. Chris@Speed Demon installed them on Monday and we baselined the car before the install. My previous dyno #'s with only the Vortex were 353 rwhp and 340 rwtq. Today at MTI, my new #'s were: 372 rwhp and 362 rwtq. The temp was 83.6 *F, 39.07-.69 in. Hg., 0 ft., CF-1.00 I had a goal of 370 rwhp, so I'm very pleased with the results. I want to thank Chris for getting these put on my car in time for the dyno day and doing a good job with the install.

YEEHAW! FLP's rock! Great gains, rschiltz! BTW, was that with or w/out cats? You gotta try the ORP's, they make the car sound AWESOME!

Re: Dynoed my Z with FLP LT headers today (rschiltz)
Great numbers Rick. :cheers: Was the 353RWHP dyno done at houston performance? If so, their dyno is usually 10 or so RWHP lower than MTI's. I'm just curious so we have a better idea of how much RWHP the FLP's add.
For example, EBLU-BY-U dynoed at MTI (352RWHP) and then a couple weeks later at Houston Performance and dynoed (~340RWHP) and then went to the track a few days later and ran 12.10 at 116.96. Several other guys I know have dynoed abnormally lower at Houston Performace recently.

rschiltz, I'm glad you got the gains you were looking for. I hope all those waiting for FLP'S headers see that I'm not the only advocate!!!!
I left the cats on my car also, I had the off roads on and we got 10 more rwhp with stock programing on FLP'S dyno. I drive my car daily...... the neighbors apreciate it as well as my wife. When its track time the off roads go on so I can scream down the track.

Hey Rick,
Those dyno numbers look great! I am glad we could take care of you on the install. I agree though that you ought to try the Off road pipes just to see what you think of them. :yesnod:
As for Houston Performance's dyno being low, there are quite a few people that have dynoed and Houston PERF, MTI and UTI on the same day and gotten less that 2 HP difference in all three with all engine temps being equal....MR. Duran, any comments on that....

I actually dynoed at two different shops that day(4/23). The first was at Houston Performance, where I dynoed lower, 349.5 rwhp, 340 rwtq. Then, I dynoed at Elite Motorsports, and pulled 353 rwhp and 340 rwtq. As is known, it was within the range of error, so I used the higher number.

Drop a cam in there and you'll be over 400rwhp near 390rwtq.
Go with something between the "Hammer" and Comp cams 226@.050", XE-R
lobe cam.
Definately get LS1EDITED.
Are you edited now? Heck thats probably another 10rwhp right there.
