Nice gains - was that retuned numbers or just bolted on?

No change in tuning was done? Hard to believe but nice numbers.

I wouldn't expect that much gain either on a stock car, but the gain from one header to the next is impressive - aren't BBK headers LTs themselves?

nice....really nice....I'm still running 1-3/4" Kooks but am seriously considering a set of Kooks 1-7/8"-2" stepped on my GTO...may be overkill for now but a dry sleeved motor is on the drawing board in the next 18 months or so.

If you had heads/cam, I'm willing to bet it would have been much more (two results now show 20/15 and 30/20). I think if you went with the Kooks TDs you would have seen more. The TSP X-Pipe is pretty good in terms of merge, but I don't know how well the Sweet Thunders flow.

Valid point. The sweet thunders have an ID of 2.5" which IMHO is fine for a full bolt on / mild cam car. I myself am swapping them for a pair of Magnaflow bullets with a 3" core. If it gains me 5 at the wheels it will be worth it; if anything for sound alone.

KH, how's the throttle response now? "Feel" any different?

Im curious why this was even posted?
ANY mod you do with a cam in the car is going to show more gain. 1 7/8 would still yield higher numbers on a stock car.
Just wondering why it was brought up.

If you're comparing your open cut-out numbers to the true duals you added afterwards, then that is why you only gained 5rwhp. I bet the closed cut-out numbers versus the TD's is a bigger increase.

Great numbers OP!!!

BTW what was the correction factor being used?

I wonder how much of a difference it would make to go from dual cutout's on the BBK 2.5 Y to 1 7/8 headers and true duals.

I know a buddy of mine dynoed his H/C/I through his SLP Dual Dual Catback and then he dynoed with his Cutout opened on the next pull and with the cutout opened he gained 20 some HP. I have the Dual Dual on my car and I will be installing a E Cutout soon and will be back on the dyno.

Either way, 466/435 is awesome. Once again an EPS cam and Ai heads are laying down awesome numbers. In an M6 car, I'd bet that'd be 480ish?

I wont say it feels differnet but it sounds like I changed the motor in the car. LOL. I will be at the track on Saturday to see if it picked up. The car traped 120mph with the BBK.
