Default Santa (RPM) installed H/C..446rwhp w/cats

Santa had RPM (Lewisville Tx) install their RPM stage 2 H/C package, Spec clutch/flywheel and hardened output shaft. Baseline was 380rwhp (TPIS headers, vortex, RT cats)...resulted in 446rwhp and 398rwtq thru cats (increase of 66rwhp...tuning by Chris Robinson). Very pleased with RPM, set-up and driveability (car is my daily driver). Now to get to track and see results...prior best was 11.64 (cam only). Also must decide on future exhaust system...LG or Kooks, 3inch pipes and no cats??? should get a nice round 460rwhp???..but for now i'll enjoy the 446.

Sweet set up.

The LG's with the very long tubes might be a pretty nice stocking stuffer, if price isn't an issue.

...my next decision (opportunity to spend $) will be if i should change out current exhaust system of TPIS/RT cats/x-pipe/Corsa pros...to Kooks or LGs, catless with 3 inch x-pipe and straight 3 inch pipes to catback??? I have been told my current set-up probably robs me of 15+ rwhp??? Any advise?

I got 449 and 394 out of my ppls6 heads and cam on my vette with TPIS headers and stock catback. I was pleased with the way it run except it has no bottom end and is in need of 4.10s bad.
