Default 3600 vigilante and hooker Lt's going in hp gain?

I will be installing some hooker lt's and a 3600 vigilante converter and I was wondering if any body could give me a rough estimate of how much horse power increase I should see, and how much I could lower my et's? my current e.t. is 13.15@ 107.6 T.I.A. Luis

you'll loose hp and lower et if you can hook, otherwise you'll lose hp and loose et
esp without tuning. why descreen the maf?

you got DR's. it would be insane to rock a 3600 with streets.

I have a pair of 26x10.50 et streets that I use at the track. Traction should not be a problem. I descreened the maf because it showed 1 tenth on my gtech. I have a maf with the screen and it seems to run better descreened. Shortly after the verter and headers are installed, LS1 edit will be installed also.

I have the Vig3600 and Hooker headers- I ran a best of 12.7 @108 w/ 1.7 60ft (untuned) I do have a Predator programmer but i think the car needs dyno tuned baaaddd. I did go from 13.2 @ 104 stock to the times above. E/T streets work well and DR's seem to work if in good shape and propperly heated(NOT too much). Good luck.
Oh and my car is quite heavy too 3600 race weight.

thanx for the reply it seems we might be neck to neck i ran that 13.15@ 107.6 with a 1.8 60ft... my race wheight is also around 3600lbs. i only have the hpp3 though so i too might have to look into better tuning... i was told the verter alone should give between 4 to 5 tenths that must be with tuning though... ne one else care to put there $.02 in?

I'm guessing 12.4 12.5 need to get it to 60ft

I dropped 4 tenths in the 8th, and picked up some mph. So i know i make more power but things are not working like they should be. Need tuning for A/F ,the Predator takes care of the trans shift points and rev limiter with no troubles. Tuning the A/F ratios should get me more in the 12.3 @ 110 range that i THINK i should be IMHO.
Good luck.

Gtech? LOL. I have Gtech and it claimed I did a 10 secnd pass on the track! I was only at 13.5 back then. Ever since then, I decided to go without the hassel of trying to get the track, the gtech all in sync so when the light turns the last yellow, to punch it AND have Gtech going as well.

What a pain in the **** it is. Fugg' the G-TECH!
