Isn't my first boosted ls3 build....$1000 for maybe 10whp more vs z06 manifolds just isn't worth it on a boosted motor. NA is a different story.

It's not about the hp gain it's about letting the blower breath. Less restrictions the better.

Nice numbers, you are going to enjoy it. Not sure on the tires you are using, but traction has just become an issue I can assure you.

Maybe, but it's the same with mufflers.

Does -09 PCM have integrator delay settings? That would be nice with longtubes, don't you think?

Yeah... Snagged a poor boy drag pack on a great deal here for the track. Switching to my tsw panoramas and pilot ss's for street. It's fun for sure. Coming from a 654 whp 5th gen camaro to this is quite nice. Once you are rolling about 45 or 50 this vette does every bit of what the camaro did if not more above 80mph. From a dig the camaro still pulled out harder. But hey...gotta have goals and take time on a build to make it fun! Alky goes on in the spring and restrictor comes OUT.

Meth and a few more degrees of timing will make an easy 50-60 rwhp easy and still be very safe.

I agree, 3" Z06 exhaust all they way through is fine.

Drop a pulley size for $100 instead of headers for $1000.

There's a reason LS7's have the least improvement from headers. They already breathe great.
