For what it's worth, my long-tubes gave me up to .3 and 3 mph increase in the 1/8th. I had a tune prior to getting them. Long-tubes are well worth the investment based on the power incease.

I'd love to be wrong and make 380-390rwhp

Sound is much better, but so is the power. LG Pro LT's added 26 rwhp and 39 rwtq and that is without a tune.

Glenn -

I'd love to see 26rwhp and 39rwtq all total from my cai, catback, 160 stat, and headers with a tune.

That would pur me somewhere around 365-370rwhp and 375-380rwtq assuming an average 340rwhp/340rwtq SAE C6.

In my mind I am expecting 365-370rwhp/365-370rwtq and would be happy with those #s.

If the car does 375-380rwhp/375-380rwtq I'll be VERY HAPPY.

But, the only #s that will really matter to me are what it runs next time at the track.

I think the LG headers are probably the best ones out there

Yes, I picked up over .3 tenths and 3 mph in the quarter mile.

3/10 and 3mph would be great.

That would put me at 12.25@118.85 assuming the same 2.023 60' and similar driving..

I only have 4 passes on the car, so there is at least another 0.2 to be had on a 1.92 60' and another 0.1-0.2 on better driving.

There will actually be 11 second potential on street tires.
