Wow.....Got it all on Friday...No Cats .....and it certainly woke the car up....Maybe its my imagination but it seems like a lot more than 20 or 30 HP....
I should of done it a long time ago..  So for anyone on the border.....I think you will be pleasantly suprised how much fun factor it adds....
Now my sons friend with a anniversary Camaro SS wants to race....he's got headers too....maybe a LS1?? Im not sure....
Do i have a chance?? I jokingly told him first one to 160 wins.....but i guess he's had the governor tuned out of his....Lol.... |

Next to a maggie, installing headers really drove my fuel economy down ... right after the install. It was so-o much fun to hear them, and all you had to do was put your right foot down ... I did that a lot. 
Naw, sorry Keith, you're only getting that 30 hp max improvement. Your right foot is just a whole lot happier, now. 
Ain't the sound great?

About the SS, as long as you run him from a roll you should be good. Say 40 in second or 60 in third. I hate running cars from a dig. I ran my buddy with a M3 and he jumped out fast. Once you get traction its just a matter of how much road there is till the next light. Thats why from a roll is best. |

I feel its much safer on my rear if I do it from a roll....not that I race on the street...on the track of course. Hmmm, maybe that's why my 1/4 mile times are so fast. I do them from a 40 roll. |

do it from a roll |

Maybe it's from all the years of a DSM (Studderbox+Antilag+6puck+AWD) doing anything from a roll just seems so  |

Example: If you run an Evo 0-60 or 1/4 mile chances are he will beat you. Try racing that same Evo from a 40 roll. You have all the hp and tq that will pull you ahead.
Just my $0.02

he asks my son everyday for me to race him...i might have to try it....his is an auto....so should gobble up some of his HP....but he has traction bars, drag radials amongst other stuff.....Must have all that stuff for a reason....
trap speed is 109.8.
