Upgrade expectations
I am considering a pro charger d1sc kit for my 16 stingray along with Texas speed long tubes and non catted x pipe while keeping what's left of the exhaust (lol) stock. With a custom tune at 7 psi what can I expect (ballpark) for numbers? Hp at the crank and rear wheels, torque? Thx in advance

Just a recommendation based upon my experience. I would get race cats with your header package. Only because of how bad the smell is with out them. I have always gone no cats on my vette's since 2003 but I don't know if it's because I'm older now or what but it bothers me at a stop light w/ my window down. I never recalled this when I was in my 20's LOL.
The TSP headers are great too and you cannot touch the price. I have them on my setup (ecs s/c, meth & headers).

The speed shop did warn me about the smell. Is it over powering? I enjoy the smell front row at TMS! That said its 2 times a year for about 3 hours. I am on the younger side of the curve still turned 33 on December 14th.

There is no doubt about it, if you go with out cats you will smell it. Just a matter of how often do you sit in traffic with your window down? Other then that it's not to much to deal with.
