Default What kinda Gain from Lt's?

Hey everyone, I was just wondering what kinda HP and TQ gains could I hope for with my car. It is my 01 SS and I am going to be putting Pacesetter Lt's on it hopefully... I wanna do a true dual system with an X and most likely get it dyno tuned... My previous dyno numbers and ET are stated below... Thanks ALOT!!!

it was a joke, think fast and furious

And yes LT's are worth it, most likely the best mod you can do with a ls1

I'd say 20 rwhp is about right. Its definately worth it. You'll be able to feel it for sure.

when we first built the motor it was set-up with a safe nitrous tune and managed to get 450rwhp, after bumping the timing up and a better tune it pulled 475rwhp. the best et was 11.18@124 on motor with that nitrous tune
