Default LS3 tuned finally

Airraid Cold Air Intake
1 7/8 AR Headers

Peak gains of 12 & 12 look kind of low. However, the benefit of headers on an otherwise stock engine is often seen as a significant increase to the average hp & tq values. What were the baseline averages and what are the new averages?
