Looks like "no-meth" numbers. Excellent. The exact setup they are doing for me.

From the power made I would guess it to be the larger hole which makes 8 lbs, the smaller makes 7lbs and typically closer to 550.

Looks like stock exhaust manifolds. What would the numbers be with LT's do you think?

I would venture to guess 15-20 more. I will tell you next week. I'm doing long tubes and the ecs kit with the 8lb restrictor plate. My cars a m7 though. Expecting around 600.

That sounds about correct. I originally skipped the headers because of the cost vs. HP increase was only 15 - 20HP and went with an ECS and Meth kit.

My car is going into the shop next week for a cam, forged internals, a 416 stroker kid and AR headers with no cats.

I keep going back and forth on meth. I want to keep it super reliable. I got very used to the 580RW 427 stroker in my last vette and really want max safety. Does that sound like I've talked myself into it?

I am in the same boat. I suppose it can always be added.

Do it from the start, you will save the cost of a retune and it's well worth it IMHO.

Lethal, curious if you guys went with the standard install from ecs or did you do a breather setup and skip routing back to the intake?

What kind of power did you make with ECS and meth if you don't mind me asking? Auto or M7?

This probably answers my question in the other thread about max boost of my set-up. I made 545HP and 550ft/lbs, not counting converter spike to 668 at 2300rpm
