Default What kind of HP/TQ difference should I see with a cut-out?

Hello,

I just had a cut-out welded in on my 99 z28 with 34k miles. The only mod's I have right now are:

Lid
FRA
Cut-out

It's welded in right before the rear axle. Just curious as to what others experienced with this?

Thanks,

Grant

5-8 HP is a great gain for basically nothing...cutouts are well worth it.

I gained 9.2 rwhp with the open cutout. Not bad for how cheap it is....
