Guys,
I decided to buy the LG headers today
My car is a 2006 Z51 6spd with corsa sport cat back...
I have also purschased the A&A corvette vortech supercharger kit...
so what do you think this combo will put down to the wheels?
6 lbs of boost,60 # injectors, KB BAP...
Just under 550. My guess is 547rwhp and 510rwtq. You might want to talk to Andy about getting a different pulley so you can run 7lbs. 1lb of boost is 7% of the N/A hp. That's like 28hp you'll be leaving on the table. That's a cool setup though, I think you'll like it. That's really more than enough power by the way. You're going to have to start looking at traction at this point. Picking up 200rwhp is quite a bit.

Wider rear tires right?
I am planning a similar setup, LG's Borla stingers, ATI procharger (eventually). Was thinking of getting the widebody kit and going with the Z06 tire width in the rear when the procharger comes, to maintain traction. Like you said... 200rwhp is a significant gain and can come at a cost i.e. loss of rear traction.
