Your new hp is equal to your old from 4800-6200 not just at 5600-6000.
The torque increased a lot in a simular fashon.
Your set for a cam swap now.

I think with a Tune, it will put more of a smile on your face.
Here is 99 Stock/Motor and Stock Tune vs Custom Predator Tune, the AFR is around 13 w/ the Predator tune.
Same car (differnt shop dyno) added AR Long tubes/Ported TB and LS6 intake and my (self tuned) custom EFI Live tune.
For progression sake, here is the above then a H/C package added

Its been raining here for 5 days, So its really hard to get on the car hard, But from what i can tell, When i rap on it , the front end seems to lift alot higher than ever before.I guess like most of us , im chasing a dyno # but when i look that i spent $2000 total and got 7 hp and 14 trq then that seems messed up to me, Then before and after install LG says 30/40 to wheels is no problem,Well, makes me wonder....But i love the sound, the look , and you can see in my graph theres defently a gain, then im sure on dry pavement the car is gonna pull really hard from 3000 rpm to 5500 rpm ,

They are 1-7/8 and i already have an LS6 intake,After driving the car for a few days now, it pulls real hard all the way thru the power band,And It leaps real nice when it shifts from 1st to 2nd..

A lot of people do get tied up in dyno numbers and most just look at the peak number. If you look at the area under the curve there is good gain through the whole RPM band And headers are pretty much a necessary mod anyways if you plan on doing anything else, have fun!

LG,LTs, x pipe& hi flo cats or (no cats w/ by pass pipes) That is the comlete setup. For extra kick put in a 3" catback system, to make a complete 3" system. This all adds up to much more torque and horse power. I've had this system on for about 5 yrs., and I love it. Happy modding!
