Figure your upcoming mods with add around 20 hp giving you 2/10's bringing your ETA down to 12.55.

You think a Z06 Intake, TPIS LT Headers and High Flow cats will only give me 20 more HP?

You will get nearly all of any increased performance from the TPIS LTs. The LS6 intake has given 0 RWHP on some stock internal cars. You will get little or nothing from the high flow cats because the stock cats flow very well and their is little flow improvement to be had.

I agree with the other guys if you really want more performance install a cam. :cheers:
