Default Kooks Header Dyno Video Before/After

Here are a few videos of my car doing one of the baseline pulls, bone stock, and after the Kook's headers and x-pipe was installed and the car tuned. I took my car to LMR for their Street Stalker upgrade. The CAI is still in development so we were not able to get it on the car for this install. My car is going back to LMR in Jan/Feb for their heads, a cam, and a centri blower once those setups are made available. The goal for this car is 700+ at the wheels. Other upgrades will be ported intake runners, TB, etc.

Before Headers (baseline) - 3 pulls, 405hp average

After Headers (tuned) - 3 pulls, 444hp avg, 456tq, Sorry for the fuzzy video, my camera was giving me fits.

There is obviously a big difference in sound but the biggest difference for me was the TB response and timing adjustments made by Steven in the tune. The car just responds so much faster and pulls like it has 100hp more now. It was a huge improvement. I can't wait to get the heads, cam, and blower installed. This car will be a monster when done.

All the cars I've seen with drag radials have been with the non z51 or aftermarket wheels. LMR'S blue car has HRE wheels with drag radials. you can it a 305 drag radial but it really tight.
