Default NPP and Headers

Has anyone with an NPP equiped car added headers + CAI and dynoed with the NPP open and the NPP closed to see what the difference is?

I'm still amazed that it is only worth 6HP per GM and wondering if adding headers is when the system really starts to help.

I am sure there are some out there with headers & NPP

You can dyno with them open by pulling the fuse, however, if you dyno with them closed they will automatically open between 2800 ~ 3000 rpm. You would need to physically wire them shut to do it with them closed.
