Might get you a few HP, if your planning more serious mods you could just wait till they are done though. :cheers:

:iagree:

The headers and filter will change your A/F ratio. I would only do it if you are going to swear off mods... That means you have to get the perscription for "The Patch :lol: :lol: and be an :blueangel: from now on.

Really the blackwing and headers should have given you about 35 HP and depending how far off your A/F is you should pick up another 10-15 more.

Doesn't 50 HP seem very optimistic for headers and a blackwing on an LS1? :cheers:
